administrative office procedures, as well as basic clinical and laboratory tasks that
keep the office running efficiently. Medical assistants regularly interact with medical
staff and patients and manage various tasks simultaneously.

and complete clinical rotations in
local physicians' offices. Many students become employed within three months of completing
the program.
