The Certificate in Medical Assistant program provides the technical skills and work habits required to seek entry-level positions as Medical Assistants. The computer technology and word processing facets of the curriculum enhance students potential for employment. Students are prepared for a National Certification Exam (e.g., NCCT, NHA, CMA, etc.) and complete a 160-hour externship program at a local clinic, physician's office, hospital, HMO (Health Maintenance Organization), or other allied health ambulatory facility. In addition to attendance in all courses, students will be required to complete out-of-class assignments. These assignments include but are not limited to reading, exercises and problem solving, projects, research, papers, and presentations. A student can anticipate out-of-class activities that equal about two (2) hours for every one (1) hour of lecture. Upon successful completion of the>program (see Graduation Requirements section of the catalog), students could seek or obtain entry-level employment in a medical assistant related field.
All students must attest to having one (1) of the following:
A high school diploma; A recognized equivalency certificate (e.g., GED); or Having passed a State-authorized examination recognized as the equivalent of a high school diploma (e.g., High School Equivalent Test (HiSET) or Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC), or other State authorized examination). If a student does not meet one those requirements, then they must: Provide documentation of an official passing score for an approved ability to benefit test prior to the first scheduled course; or, Be simultaneously enrolled in C4L Academy’s adult high school program and a certificate-level Career Pathway Program (CPP) offered by Charter College.
