                  What You’ll Learn in Our Medical Assisting Program

                  Our Medical Assisting program focuses on teaching students the knowledge and the skills that they will need when they leave school and enter the workforce. We offer classes from instructors that combine book and lecture-based learning with hands-on experience. 

                  Our Medical Assisting programs offer a wide range of specialized classes, geared towards the skills that employers in the medical field are looking for. Here are just a few of the classes you will take during your Medical Assistant training:

                  • Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, and Gastrointestinal Systems: Students will undertake a system-by-system anatomical study of the human body and basic principles of physiology. This course will cover the structure; functions; and conditions/diseases of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and gastrointestinal systems. In addition, the medical terminology applicable to these body systems will be addressed, with emphasis on word construction, proper usage, and acceptable medical abbreviations.
                  • Allied Health Orientation: This course will introduce allied health students to various roles of medical professionals. The student will be trained in the scope of practice, legal and ethical responsibilities, and governmental compliance required within allied health professions.
                  • Extern and Medical Review: The course provides students with the opportunity to practice administrative and clinical skills in a suitable physician’s office or ambulatory health care facility under the supervision of the practicum coordinator and site preceptor. You’ll also prepare for and review information on the national certification exam.
