Medical Assistant

Medical Assistants like spending time with patients, but they’re also capable of carrying out important office-type tasks. Change is constant, so they have to be comfortable doing different things each day. They also get along with people easily.

A Medical Assistant is like a referee–they’re one of the most important people in the building, but they often go unnoticed if they’re doing their job well.

Your training prepares you to become a vital person in the medical office. You’ll update patient medical records, fill out reports, lab tests, diagnoses and treatment plans. Your duties are to evaluate records for completeness and ensure that essential info is in the computer.

Duties may also include taking medical histories and recording vital signs, explaining treatment procedures to patients, preparing patients for exams, and assisting physicians.

About High Tech Institute

HTI is dedicated to teaching students what they need to know, not what we want them to learn. And that’s an important distinction. Here’s why:

So many schools develop their training programs based on their own arbitrary opinions of what constitutes a good education. We develop our programs based on the real-world training and qualifications that employers like to see when hiring.

We know students need a valuable career focused education. We know they need a top notch student services department. And we know they need highly-focused, job-relevant courses.
