Course Description:

'' A medical assistant is a health care professional who is cross-trained in three different areas of patient care. The medical assistant participates in a wide variety of clinical duties encompassing clinical, laboratory, and administrative procedures.



As a medical assistant, your duties could include administering injections, taking blood pressure readings, rooming patients, drawing blood, performing commonly ordered laboratory tests, insurance coding, medical records, and scheduling patients. You may also perform electrocardiograms and take basic x-rays.


The ability to demonstrate professionalism, communicate effectively, and perform procedures quickly and accurately are essential for success as a medical assistant. As a medical assistant you will have direct patient contact and work closely with physicians, nurses, and other health care professionals.

Because of their cross training, the medical assistant is currently in high demand throughout the healthcare industry.
The medical assistant is qualified to work in clinics, hospitals, urgent care clinics, blood collection centers, research facilities, and insurance companies. Medical Assistants can tailor their hours to fit their families schedules. Most prefer a Monday - Friday schedule. Physicians offices do not offer weekend hours, but evening hours are available at urgent care centers and hospitals.
