Medical
Assisting Diploma Program
The Medical Assisting Diploma is designed
to bridge the gap between the traditional
nurse in the physician's office and
the medical secretary. This diploma
prepares graduates for a position in
the medical office in a clinical capacity.
In addition to clinical and basic laboratory
procedures, students learn current medical
technology, medical codes, and other
skills necessary to excel in the healthcare
industry. Upon completion of a Diploma
in Medical Assisting, students will
have taken a variety of courses related
to the healthcare field. Courses include
Anatomy and Physiology, Pharmacology,
Phlebotomy, and other Medical Lab classes.
Students will also qualify to sit for
national certification as a Medical
Assistant (CMA), Phlebotomy Technician,
and EKG Technician. To ensure a well-rounded
medical assistant, the Medical Assisting
program covers medical insurance and
coding, medical transcription, and medical
bookkeeping as it relates to the medical
office. Call us today at (770)
