Description
NPC’s medical assistant program (MDA) equips you with the clinical and administrative skills you need to be an invaluable asset in a busy medical office. Graduates of the program are engaged in challenging careers in the offices of physicians, podiatrists, chiropractors and other health care practitioners.
Our program meets, and in many ways exceeds, the Arizona State Board of Medical Examiner training requirements. You can be certain you are gaining the necessary knowledge to succeed in this rapidly growing field.
When you graduate from the Medical Assistant program, you will be fully prepared to assist with the following medical office tasks: phlebotomy, medication administration, electrocardiography, vital sign measurement, physical and specialty exam preparation and sterilization and disinfection. This program also introduces you to basic anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, computer software applications, word processing, medical transcription and insurance coding and billing.
NPC's Medical Assistant program includes a 160-hour externship, where you actually work in a medical office or hospital setting beside other medical professionals. Externship opportunities exist in many local communities, and many externship partners offer paid positions to qualified individuals upon completing the externship!
Note: The MDA degree and certificate program does NOT lead into the NPC nursing program.
