The Medical Assistant program at CCI Training Center offers a fast-track option for students seeking to enter the healthcare field. In just 8 months, this hybrid program combines 70% online learning with hands-on clinical training, providing a flexible path for those balancing work, family, or other commitments.

The program is designed to train students in the key skills needed for a medical assistant role, including clinical procedures, phlebotomy, and electronic medical records. Courses are led by experienced instructors who bring real-world expertise, ensuring students are well-prepared for the demands of the field. The hybrid format requires only clinical labs to be attended in person, while the rest of the coursework is completed online, offering significant flexibility.

Students gain hands-on experience through lab training at CCI’s fully equipped medical lab in Arlington. This practical component, combined with interactive online learning and live weekly lectures, provides a comprehensive foundation for becoming a certified medical assistant.

The curriculum covers a range of topics, including anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, pharmacology, and EKG operations.
