This two-year program offers the student academic and clinical
experience in the critical areas of administrative and clinical
medical assisting. The course is designed to present skills from
most basic to more complex, and prepares students for entry
level employment as a Medical Assistant.
Students acquire a specialized body of knowledge, skills and
attitudes that allow them to perform administrative and clinical
procedures in a variety of healthcare settings. Since Anatomy
and Physiology is emphasized throughout the course, a student
may be granted a third year science credit from their home
school. The course is based on the American Association of
Medical Assisting (AAMA) role delineation components. Upon
successful completion, a student will be able to demonstrate the
skills, knowledge, and attitude to obtain employment in the
field of Medical Assisting.
