MEDICAL ASSISTANT

This program requires 5 months of class, clinical and externship time. The training includes both front and back office skills, such as taking vital signs, lab procedures, phlebotomy, EKG, injections, medical billing, insurance forms, reading prescriptions, and keeping medical records. Students go for externships to local doctors’ offices to gain real world experience. Contact us for more information.

Demand for medical assistants continues to grow, especially in the US where the nursing shortage has required many doctor’s offices to rely more heavily on medical assistants to perform basic tasks, like first contact with a patient, taking blood pressure or medical histories, and possibly performing some tests like ultrasounds or blood tests. What a medical assistant does may depend upon the needs of a specific medical practice. They often have dual roles, performing both clerical work and working with patients. The Infotech program includes training in both front and back office skills to prepare you for all the tasks you might encounter in a medical office.

Medical Assisting is a great foundation in case you later want to specialize in a field such as Radiology, Ultrasound, or Phlebotomy. Many medical assistants go on to become Vocational Nurses.

The average medical assistants' salaries vary depending on the business and experience level of the individual. Starting out, the hourly rate is from minimum wage to $12.50 an hour. With experience or with further specialization, one can expect to earn about $21.00 an hour.

Infotech Career College offers training and lifetime job placement assistance for all of our students. Federal Financial Aid is available for this program.
