Diploma 

The health care industry is evolving to keep up with increased demand in the United States. To help relieve the burden on doctors and other practitioners, medical assistants have become an integral part of the health care team. Medical assistants are trained to handle both administrative and clinical responsibilities, offering the flexibility required to deliver health care in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

 A Promising Career Field 

As the demand for quality health care continues to rise, the employment outlook for medical assistants is excellent. In fact, the U.S. Department of Labor projects medical assisting to be one of the fastest-growing occupations through 2014.* Earning a diploma at Texas School of Business is a great way to become qualified for a career as a medical assistant in a physician's office, clinic, hospital, or other health care facility.

 Education Focused on Developing Skills 

The program emphasizes professionalism, client relations, critical thinking, adherence to the ethical and legal requirements of a medical practice, and communications skills. Your training can help you acquire knowledge in anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology and develop skills in routine lab procedures such as obtaining blood samples. You will also have the opportunity to master office administration skills—such as keyboarding, word processing, medical software applications—and the use of personal computers, copiers, and other common office equipment.

 Prepare for Certification Exams 

This program can help you prepare for the Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) exam sponsored by the American Association of Medical Assistants and Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) exams sponsored by the American Medical Technologists.†
