Medical Assistant

You enjoy variety! You like taking care of people, working as part of a team, and keeping things organized. As a Medical Assistant, you'll use all these characteristics to your best advantage.

Concorde Career Colleges' daytime or evening Medical Assistant programs offer "multi-tasked" training. You will be ready to take patient histories and vital signs, prepare patients for procedures, and assist the physician with exams and treatments. You'll help maintain infection control, collect and process specimens, perform selected diagnostic tests, and prepare and administer medications as directed by the physician. You will also be able to move to the front desk and schedule appointments, complete medical transcriptions, handle telephone calls and written correspondence, and manage the practice's finances.

Your ability to "do it all" makes you a valuable and in-demand member of the team, in private or group practices, nursing homes and home health agencies, as well as insurance, medical and pharmaceutical companies.
