Medical Assistant Schools in Massachusetts
Medical assistant schools in Massachusetts offer short-term career training programs in the field of medical assisting. Medical assistants perform a wide range of duties in a medical facility such as front office administration and minor patient care and assessment. Their varied skills make them a valuable member of a medical staff. Medical assistants can perform vital sign checks, administer medication and bill insurance companies. Programs are one to two years in length and confer certificates and associate’s degrees. The occupation is expected to grow by 30% over the next decade. The growth is attributed to medical staff retiring and an aging population that requires medical care.

The program teaches front office administrative duties and back office laboratory procedures. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates will have the skills required for employment in a doctor's office or medical clinic as a medical assistant.
