This 224-hour course (144 hours of class/lab time and 80 hours of externship) trains students in, but not limited to: assisting with examinations, removing sutures, changing sterile dressings, drawing blood samples, and performing EKGs. Medical Assistants are typically seen as the Jack of all Trades in providing basic nursing care. Upon completion of the course students will be prepared to sit for the American Allied Health national exam to become a Registered Medical Assistant.
Note: Students need to be prepared for an externship assignment following their class. This may mean time off from work and/or the need to have a flu shot, criminal background check and a drug screen. It is highly recommended these issues are addressed before your last two weeks of class. You will need a pair of scrubs for externship.
