Medical Assistant
- Graduates are eligible for certifications in RMA, PTC, NCICS, and ETC
- Study close to home at our campuses in Ramsey, Hackensack, and Nutley
- Learn how to record medical histories, record vital signs, and assist physicians
A career path as a medical assistant allows you to experience both sides of the medical field, performing administrative and front desk tasks, and hands-on medical procedures, both key roles in a medical organization.
Medical assistants are often the first person a patient sees when they step into the doctor’s office. Greeting people at the front desk, scheduling appointments, and filing medical records are just a few administrative responsibilities an MA must master. When not handling traditional office duties, medical assistants perform a variety of medical tasks, which can include: taking medical histories, recording vital signs, explaining procedures to patients, preparing patients for examinations, and assisting physicians.
Graduates of the MA program at Eastwick College are able to return at any time to earn an associate degree in as little as six months using their previously earned credits.
