Medical assistants are specially-trained healthcare professionals who work closely with patients and doctors to keep medical clinics and offices running smoothly. They serve an important role in health organizations, keeping patient’s files organized and accessible and performing basic procedures like drawing blood. Your medical assisting education will prepare you to carry out the duties of an entry-level medical assistant.

In this program, you’ll learn how to perform clinical, diagnostic, and lab procedures and get an introduction to pharmacology, medical terminology, diseases, insurance claims processing, and office administration. All the while you’ll gain practice performing job duties such as keeping patients’ records and taking blood pressure.

Before graduating, you’ll round-out your education and solidify your skills through hands-on clinical training, so you finish the program confident in your skills and ready to begin a steady career.
