As part of our training program, students are also required to complete a 160-hour medical assistant externship, where they work and learn under the guidance of a healthcare professional. This externship lets students take theory to the next level and gain a first-hand look at what a future career in healthcare might involve. Some medical assistant responsibilities include:\n\nCollecting and preparing laboratory specimens\nTaking vital signs\nDrawing blood\nAssisting with diagnostic tests\nUpdating\/filing medical records\nFilling out insurance forms\nProcessing insurance claims\nScheduling appointments\nFrom pediatric offices to eldercare communities, healthcare specialties need the expertise of qualified medical assistants to provide care and foster positive patient experiences. Though medical assistant responsibilities vary depending on the employer, role, work environment, and other factors, we make every effort to prepare students for a rewarding future.\n\nStudents may take the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) exam through the National Healthcareer Association (NHA). Prism Career Institute pays for this after the medical assistant externship is complete. As part of tuition, study resources are provided for students to ensure that they are on the path of optimal professionalism.\n\nInvesting in Your Education With Prism Career Institute\nPrism Career Institute proudly offers competitive tuition rates for our students.
