Medical Assistant Program Description
A career path with countless opportunities
At Health Professionals Institute, we train new medical assistants to go above and beyond when providing direct patient care and performing administrative and clinical procedures. While a medical assistant’s exact duties will vary depending on if they are in a clinic, physicians’ office, or urgent care center, all HPI graduates come out of our program with a passion for helping patients and improving their communities.
A career as a medical assistant includes:
- Assisting doctors and nurses during exams
- Recording patients’ medical histories
- Filing patient records
- Providing general care for patients
- Explaining treatment procedures to patients
A medical assistant is a vital team member in any clinic, hospital, or doctor’s office. You must be able to guide patients through their visit, complete physicians’ instructions, and even administer medication in some instances.
An affordable, intensive education awaits
The Medical Assistant Certification Program also provides the foundation for rapid career growth and expertise at a lower cost than other programs while delivering 800 hours of education in an intense nine-month course. After graduation, you will take the Medical Assistant (MA) certification exam to begin your career helping others.
