Medical Assistant Program Inaugurated
A new Medical Assistant Program has been introduced to meet the growing demand for health care professionals. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has recently reported that employment of medical assistants is expected to grow rapidly as the health service industry expands. This program will be administered as an Associate Degree program and Certificate program at Bramson ORT College.
The curriculum is designed to prepare graduates to be multi-skilled Medical Assistants, who work with and under the direction of a physician in clinical and administrative aspects of a physician’s office or other medical setting. Courses can include Human Anatomy and Physiology, Medical Office Administrative Procedures, Medical Terminology, and Medical Internship.
Student reaction to this program has been extremely positive and students are eager to put their skills to work in a developing job market.
