CLINICAL MEDICAL ASSISTANT PROGRAM
The Clinical Medical Assistant program at “Nexus Medical Training Center” is a blend of classroom learning and hands-on experience through an internship in either a community-based medical practice or an Urgent Care facility. This program requires students to complete 290 hours of theoretical and practical skills instruction in a classroom environment, along with 300 hours of clinical skills training in a partnered medical office or urgent care setting.
The program encompasses various job responsibilities related to clinical knowledge and skills, such as taking medical histories, explaining treatment procedures to patients, preparing patients for examinations, supporting the physician during exams, collecting and preparing laboratory specimens including blood collection, and performing electrocardiography.
As per data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for medical assistants is expected to rise by 16 percent from 2021 to 2031, which is significantly faster than the average for all professions.
Each year, approximately 123,000 job openings for medical assistants are anticipated. A large portion of these openings will likely be due to the need for replacing workers who move to other careers or leave the workforce, for example, through retirement.
