Overview: This exciting career offers students the opportunity to obtain the training
needed to assist physicians both in the clinical (back office) area and in the
administrative (front office) setting. The duties of Medical Assistants vary from office to office, depending on the office location, size, and specialty. In small practices, they are usually “generalists”, handling both front office and clinical duties and reporting directly to an office manager, physician, or other health practitioner. Clinical duties vary
according to state laws and include taking medical histories, recording vital signs, explaining treatment procedures to patients, preparing patients for examination, and assisting the physician during the examination. They may collect and prepare laboratory specimens and prepare and administer medications. Graduates have the opportunity to work as a Clinical/Medical Assistant, Clinical Technician, Medical Office Assistant, Phlebotomist, EKG Technician, Medical Receptionist, Medical Secretary, and Medical Office Insurance Specialist. The program prepares the student to take the AMT
Registered Medical Assistant examination. Students may also make application for the NCCT Phlebotomy Technician examination (NCCT fee is not included in cost of
program).
