As key players in medical offices all over the country, medical assistants perform a variety of tasks. As a medical assistant, your hard work and commitment to helping others can be a great asset in your professional life. And to help you make the most of the professional opportunities that come your way, American Career Institute’s medical assistant school in the Springfield and Boston areas of Massachusetts or the Baltimore and Silver Spring areas of Maryland can help you gain the skills and experience to feel confident as you work toward your goals.

At ACI, we can help you prepare for the future as you build a wide range of medical assisting skills. Through your classes here, you can study the basics of the medical assisting profession, learn about the medical terminology used by doctors and nurses, and understand the systems and functions of the human body.

Other topics covered in the medical assistant training at our schools in Massachusetts and Maryland include:

• The theory of common medical situations
• Applying what you’ve learned to real medical settings
• Learning useful office skills needed in healthcare settings
• Understanding medical, legal and ethical responsibilities

In addition to building your knowledge of medical assisting in the classroom, you can take what you’ve learned and apply it to a medical externship within the community. This is your time to get a feel for this career and perfect the skills you’ve already started to develop.
