Medical Assisting
Healthcare with a Human Touch!
Medical Assistants give healthcare a human touch, helping patients feel at ease and understand doctor's instructions. They are vital to any medical office, providing administrative services, performing clinical duties, and conducting lab testing. Your clinical duties could include collecting and preparing lab specimens, drawing blood, taking medical histories, assisting physicians during exams, performing basic laboratory tests, instructing patients about medication and special diets, and even administering medications as directed.
Our 11-month Medical Assisting diploma program provides comprehensive instruction in basic anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, medical law and ethics, patient psychology, communications, medical office procedures, and clinical examination and treatment. This program prepares you for a rewarding career where you can make a real difference in patients' lives!
