My experience with Abilene Medical Assistant has been a positive one. There has been much growth upon myself and my classmates as we have learned about the scope of practice within the medical assistant, successfully have drawn venipunctures and learn to take vitals within a timely matter.
Sarah has been an excellent teacher to us all. She goes into detail about her teachings and ensures us that we are grasping the information. She has been a positive teacher and lets us know "it will all come together"

Abilene Medical Assistant School is a hands-on learning program. We take a different approach from traditional education. Our classes take place in a medical office rather than a classroom, with a hands-on component to every part of our course. Classes begin with a lecture and discussion, but most of the class time is spent in labs learning the essential techniques of medical assisting. When our students graduate and begin their career, they feel at home in a medical office.
As a newly hired Medical Assistant, your employer will expect you to know the basic skills of medical assisting. Those fundamental skills are exactly what we focus on teaching our students.

When you graduate from any medical assisting school you receive a certificate of completion. Many students ask if they can expect to make a higher starting salary if they attend a longer program.
