Medical & Dental Programs
Medical Assisting
Working in doctors’ offices, hospitals, outpatient care facilities, and more, medical assistants are often an important part of medical staff. Medical assistants may take a patient’s vital signs, schedule appointments, record patient histories, and work with diagnostic lab specimens. Our Medical Assisting program in San Leandro can be completed in as few as nine months for a Certificate of Achievement.
Dental Assisting
Blending patient care with front-office duties, dental assistants play an important role in dentists’ offices. Dental assistants may pass and sterilize instruments, take x-rays, or otherwise support dentists and dental hygienists. They also may greet and check-in patients, schedule appointments, and file documents and records. Carrington College’s Dental Assisting program in San Leandro can be completed in as few as nine months for a Certificate of Achievement.
Pharmacy Technology
Working in retail pharmacies, hospital settings, or even compounding pharmacies, pharmacy technicians help get people the medicine they need. Pharmacy technicians work with pharmacists to help fill prescriptions. In most states, technicians can compound or mix some medications and call physicians for prescription refill authorizations. While becoming a full pharmacist requires a doctoral degree, our Pharmacy Technology program in San Leandro can be completed in as few as nine months.
Medical Billing and Coding
From Medicaid to private insurance to self-pay patients, making sure healthcare workers get paid for their services is an important part of the system. This, in addition to the increasing use of electronic health records, has led to the occupation of medical billers and coders. Medical billers and coders help record patient history in a code that can be read on electronic health records and understood by complex medical insurance carriers. They also help physicians and other medical professionals get paid by submitting bills to insurance carriers and following up until those bills are paid. Carrington’s Medical Billing and Coding program in San Leandro can be completed in as few as nine months for a certificate.
*This program is available in a Blended Online Format.

Vet techs may draw blood, check vitals, administer medications, and communicate with an animal’s owner. You can earn an Associate Degree and prepare for the Veterinary Technician National Examination* in as few as 19 months at our Veterinary Technology program in San Leandro.
