We're offering a new way of learning in our new Hybrid Medical Assistant Program!!! Our new textbook choice provides students with interactive activities, videos, Learn Smart exercises, and valuable resources to reinforce the chapter content! The textbook also correlates with the Electronic Health Record software that is now being used in our lab to document skills on one another!
Students will complete Medical Terminology, Anatomy & Physiology and Clinical Lab Lectures independently but will have access to an instructor for questions and assistance.
Each week students will come to class for lab time, testing, announcements, lab demonstrations, and lectures of instructors discretion.
This method of instruction will minimize time spent in class.
Students will continually have access to instructors for questions or assistance when needed throughout the program.
Stay tuned for information to be posted soon about another class starting on Tuesday, January 5, 2020 that will be a Tuesday/Thursday schedule.

Job Outlook "Employment of medical assistants is projected to grow 29 percent from 2012 to 2022, much faster than the average for all occupations. The growth of the aging baby-boom population will continue to spur demand for preventive medical services, which are often provided by physicians. As their practices expand, physicians will hire more assistants to perform routine administrative and clinical duties, allowing the physicians to see more patients."
