Introduction

Medical Assisting is a program taught at St Charles Community College, USA. Intake: Fall. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (2 semesters) options.

The Medical Assisting program at St Charles Community College is a certificate program designed to prepare students to work as multi-skilled health professionals. Students complete a two-semester sequence that combines classroom learning with hands-on lab simulations and online coursework. The program includes MDA-prefixed courses with Medical Assisting-specific content and required HIM-prefixed courses that cover general health information management topics.

Instruction is delivered as a hybrid program. In the first semester, students study in the classroom and learn hands-on in the simulated lab space. In the second semester, students complete a 180-hour clinical externship in a professional setting. Upon graduation, students are eligible to sit for the national certification exam through American Medical Technologists to become a Registered Medical Assistant (RMA).
