That’s the first step. Then we ensure that all of our medical assisting students complete practicums at a variety of health care sites that allow them to develop their clinical and patient care skills in the real world.

Monroe Medical Assistant graduates find themselves with entry-level jobs at an array of health care facilities, including medical practices, hospitals, long-term care facilities and assisted living facilities. However, many graduates choose to transition into one of many bachelor’s degree programs.
