Fast-track Your Career in Healthcare
Are you interested in entering the growing field of healthcare? Have you considered training for a career as a medical assistant? There’s never been a better time to join the medical field, and training to become a medical assistant is an excellent first step into this growing field. Becoming a nurse, a doctor, or a pharmacist takes years of schooling and can be costly, but at DSDT, you can train to be a medical assistant in as few as 9.5 months! Medical assistants are allied health professionals, working alongside doctors, physicians, and nurses to provide patients with the highest level of care.
Medical assistants work in physicians’ offices, clinics, and sometimes even hospitals, in towns and cities all over the country. With a growing demand for healthcare services nationwide, there is steady demand for medical assistants no matter where you live. Medical assistants perform many important administrative and clinical tasks in a variety of healthcare settings. Medical assistants often work in both the front of the office, handling tasks such as reception and scheduling, and in the exam rooms, taking vital signs, preparing patients and assisting in exams. Medical assistants also act as a patient coordinator by providing a means of communication between patients, doctors and other healthcare providers.
The Medical Assistant Diploma Program at DSDT trains students in these skills, so graduates of the program are prepared to hit the ground running in entry-level positions. Like all of DSDT’s programs, the Medical Assistant Diploma program provides hands-on, practical training, so that students may practice in real life situations, rather than learning just from textbooks. DSDT students learn to perform basic laboratory procedures, as well as how to assist physicians in medical office examinations. DSDT graduates are also prepared to work in the front office of a medical office, performing administrative duties such as record management, appointment scheduling, insurance, and medical practice management.
