Would you like to learn the skills you need to help you join one of the fastest growing professions* in healthcare, giving you the opportunity to apply for a position in a physician's office, clinic, or health care center? The Medical Assisting certificate or associate degree program at our San Jose campus can provide you with the level of expertise that an employer would expect of an entry-level Medical Assistant.

Medical Assistants are versatile team members; they prep patients, measure vital signs, sterilize medical instruments, give injections, and perform front office administration functions. This versatility and consequent ability to help a medical office function more efficiently is one reason why the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics has forecast that employment of Medical Assistants will grow much faster than the average for all occupations.* 

So if you're looking to join the medical community in a position where you can provide direct patient care, consider studying the Medical Assisting program at Carrington College California in San Jose:

• The program culminates in a Certificate of Achievement or Associate of Science degree in Medical Assisting

Our experienced Medical Assisting faculty use their extensive knowledge to deliver the practical training and hands-on experience their students need to help them graduate, then sit the credentialing exam with confidence, and go on to enjoy successful Medical Assistant careers.
