We’re currently enrolling students in its daytime Medical Assistant course. The classes will be held at our Johnson College campus in Scranton, Monday through Thursday, from 10 am to 1 pm beginning August 27, 2024, and finishing on  May 1, 2025.

This program prepares students to assist physicians by performing functions related to the clinical aspects of a medical office. Functions include preparing patients for examination, treatment, routine laboratory procedures, pharmacology, and taking and documenting vital signs. Plus, students will learn the fundamentals of phlebotomy and venipunctures, anatomy & physiology, and medical terminology encountered in the field. Students will gain the knowledge and skills needed to perform the duties required of a medical assistant. Upon completion, students will have the option to take the leading national/industry-recognized National Healthcareer Association’s (NHA) Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) exam.
