Welcome to the Medical Assisting Department's Home Page. The purpose of this and other linked pages is to furnish information about our programs, courses, and staff.
Medical Assistants are vital to a smooth running medical office or clinic. Their
duties are an interesting combination of patient care responsibilities and general
office procedures. They prepare patients to see physicians, make appointments, and
assist with exams and minor surgeries. Medical Assistants perform lab tests, give
injections, take blood pressures and administer electrocardiograms. As a key office
person, they also perform office bookkeeping, schedule surgeries, maintain records,
and complete insurance forms
