The Medical Assisting Program is committed to providing a high standard of quality medical assisting education to all of our students. This will be accomplished by providing a good foundation in basic medical assisting knowledge and skills, critical thinking and personal qualities. Through cooperative team efforts, our graduate medical assistants will be successful in their certification requirements; be prepared for an entry level medical assisting position; adopt measures that ensure the safe practice of medical assisting; show sensitivity to cultural diversity; promote health habits that contribute to total wellness; and, become lifelong learners.
The Medical Assisting (MA) program is designed to prepare students for employment in various medical settings, such as a physician’s office, clinics and certain hospital settings. This program will prepare the student to function in a medical office or clinical environment as a medical receptionist, administrative assistant, insurance coder/biller, phlebotomist, EKG Technician, and as a back office clinical assistant/patient educator.
The curriculum provides students with the technical, clinical, and interpersonal skills necessary to succeed in the medical assisting field. Upon successful completion students will be prepared to take the national exam for Clinical Certified Medical Assistant (CCMA).
