Medical Assisting

The Medical Assistant program consists of two semesters of core program classes including a clinical externship. The program prepares students to be multi-skilled allied health professionals specifically trained in administrative, laboratory and clinical processes. Medical assistants work side by side with doctors, nurses and others on the health care team, treating patients from newborns to senior citizens. They demonstrate a blend of varied skills including administrative, technical, communication and interpersonal abilities. Core program classes start once per year in the spring and include training in clinical and administrative skills, laboratory tests and practices, office and clinical procedures, sterilization techniques, and phlebotomy procedures.
