Medical Assistant Program Benefits

There are many reasons to become a Medical assistant.

National Certification

CCMAs are trained to perform so many different tasks and they are in great demand in the workforce. Per the National Health career Association (NHA),having a nationally accredited certification, like the CCMA, can help you stand out. This certification may also be required or preferred for certain job opportunities in the profession.

Growth Opportunities

Once you are a CCMA, you can choose to “stack credentials” with multiple certifications in specialties such as phlebotomy and EKG administration, in that way adding even more value as a member of the healthcare team. Professionals who earn credentials in area of expertise can achieve higher levels of accountability and proficiency and are in high demand among employers.

Valuable and Versatile

Whether you want to work in a doctor’s office or a large hospital system,becoming a CCMA with the NHA shows that you are knowledgeable and ready to be a valued member of a healthcare team.

Big Rapids’ based MPCPED 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. There is a hands-on component to every part of our course. Our classes begin with a lecture/class discussion, but the majority of the class time is spent in labs learning the essential techniques of Medical Assisting. When our students graduate and begin their career, they are at home in a medical office.

As a newly hired Medical Assistant, your employer will have an expectation that you will know the basic skills of Medical Assisting. It’s those fundamental skills that we focus on teaching our students. Our custom designed curriculum sets students up for success in knowing exactly what doctors will expect them to know.
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. The starting salary for a Medical Assistant does not have anything to do with how long you spent in school or how much you paid for your schooling.
Medical Assistants perform a variety of duties, including but not limited to assisting the doctor, carrying out clinical tasks, and completing administrative work. Medical assistants may perform many different clinical duties including taking and recording vital signs, preparing patients for examination, drawing blood, etc. Administrative tasks are as equally important in the medical assisting field and medical assistants are also in charge of scheduling appointments, maintaining medical records, working with insurance files, and billing. Assistants are responsible for making patients feel at ease while also preparing them for treatment. During medical visits, assistants often work alongside the doctor.
