This program prepares students with the necessary clinical and administrative knowledge to become entry-level medical assistants. Just don’t be that guy.

Students will receive hands-on training and learn how to properly administer injections, take vital signs, record EKGs, implement basic accounting procedures, and understand the fundamentals of patient documentation. Upon completion of the program, students may test to receive a certification with the American Heart Association CPR/AED.

🩺 Learning, Leading, and Sharing Our Skills! 🩺

Mrs. House’s 1 PM Senior Medical Assisting class had an amazing opportunity to showcase the skills we’ve developed in our program with students from other programs at West-MEC’s Northwest Campus!

Our students stepped into the role of instructors, demonstrating essential healthcare skills, including proper handwashing techniques, how to respond to a choking infant, and the safe removal of contaminated gloves. 🧼🧤

This fun, hands-on experience allowed our students to share their knowledge, build confidence, practice communication skills, and demonstrate the importance of teamwork and patient safety.

We are so proud of our future healthcare professionals for stepping up, sharing their skills, and making learning fun for everyone! 💙
