Medical Assistant

The objective of the Medical Assistant certification program is to prepare students for employment in a variety of health care settings, including doctors' offices, clinics, hospitals, and laboratories. Medical training students will build a foundation in medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, and the proper protocols and procedures used in clinical and laboratory environments. In addition, students will study front-office practices including coding and billing procedures, patient relations, and medical law and ethics. The program is based on the nationally recognized medical training standards set by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and is designed to prepare students for the California Certified Medical Assistant (CCMA) credential. In order to meet the program's graduation requirements, medical training students must complete the 160-hour unpaid off-campus Medical Externship in addition to the published course requirements.

Medical Assistants are in great demand in all geographic areas, in doctors' offices, hospitals, laboratories, and health centers. Medical Assistants perform a variety of duties that may include taking medical histories and recording vital signs; preparing patients for examination; assisting the physician during examination; collecting and preparing specimens and/or performing basic laboratory tests; sterilizing medical instruments; drawing blood; taking electrocardiograms; medical insurance coding and billing; creating and maintaining medical charts; preparing reports and correspondence; scheduling appointments; and greeting patients.
