Your 18-Week Journey
From clinical fundamentals to your first job interview, we prepare you for everything the medical industry requires.
-
Weeks 1-2: Building Your Foundation
You'll start by learning the fundamentals — medical terminology, professional conduct, and the basics of working in a medical office. You'll meet your classmates and instructors, and start getting comfortable in a clinical environment.
-
Weeks 3-12: Hands-On Clinical Training
This is where it gets real. You'll practice clinical skills in a real medical office environment, working with actual equipment and tools. You'll learn phlebotomy, EKG, vital signs measurement, injections, and clinical procedures.
-
Weeks 13-15: Certification Prep
We'll prepare you for the CCMA national certification exam with review sessions, practice tests, and study support. You'll take and pass your certification before you graduate.
-
Weeks 16-18: Externship
Put everything you've learned into practice during your externship at a local medical office. You'll work alongside licensed professionals, gaining real-world experience that employers value.
A Typical Week
Classroom Learning
Each week includes structured classroom time where you'll learn the theory and knowledge behind medical assisting — from anatomy and terminology to patient care protocols and office procedures.
Hands-On Practice
Our classes take place in real medical offices, so you'll practice on the same equipment you'll use in your career. This isn't a simulation — it's the real thing.
What You'll Learn
Our class sizes are small by design, so you get the individual attention you need. Your instructors are experienced medical professionals who are invested in your success — and our student support team is here to help with everything from scheduling to career placement.
