Medical Assisting

Medical assistants are a vital part of any healthcare office, completing administrative and clinical tasks in the offices of physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities. A medical assistant may take a patient’s vital signs, record a patient’s history and personal information, and schedule appointments. Learn more about the Medical Assisting program.

Massage Therapy

People seek out massage therapy for a variety of reasons. Some want to unwind and de-stress or deal with injury through stretching and movement. Regardless of why they’re looking to soothe aches and pains, these people are looking for a massage therapist. Students at our Massage Therapy program in Stockton will study anatomy and physiology, terminology, function, and structure of the body’s muscular, skeletal and internal systems, and even ethics and business concerns. The program can be completed in as few as nine months.

Pharmacy Technology

Pharmacy technicians assistant pharmacists in delivering medications to the public. A pharmacy technician may work in a retail pharmacy like Walgreens or in an in-house pharmacy at medical facilities, among other work settings.

Dental assistants help hygienists and dentists with routine procedures like passing instruments and sterilizing equipment, and may work to make patients more comfortable as they visit a dental office. Carrington College’s Dental Assisting program includes classes on anatomy, physiology, and radiography, dental sealants and procedures, as well as front office duties and patient care.

Veterinary Assisting
