MEDICAL ASSISTANT CLASSES

The Medical Assistant (MA) works alongside the provider, mainly in medical offices and clinics. Many medical assistants are cross-trained to perform administrative and clinical duties. This 12-week course will introduce the student to medical terminology, pharmaceutical drugs, computer applications, greeting patients, answering telephones, and scheduling appointments, and more.

The student will also learn entry-level basics of insurance/billing, medications, injections, vaccinations, Coding, Lab draw skills, and 12-Lead EKG. All of this knowledge will prepare the student for the 4 – week (20 hours per week) clinical intern training at a Physician’s – office or an Outpatient / Urgent Care Facility and or Lab.  There is no guarantee externship site will be close to your home, sites are limited.  You are required to go to our contract sites unless you have a physician who is willing to let you do your externship at their office. A contract must be signed with the physician and Covenant.

The student will NOT automatically go on an externship opportunity, they must show professionalism, maturity, and safety in the classroom setting determined by the instructor.  If you elect to take this course; CLEAR your calendar – ATTENDANCE is critical to passing the class.
