We are no longer accepting new enrollments for the Medical Assistant program at our YTI York Campus. However, we encourage you to explore our Medical Assisting Diploma program.
Do you have a passion for helping others? Medical Assistants continue to be one of the most employed and essential healthcare professionals today.
Depending on the office size and specialty, a Medical Assistant could be handling both administrative and clinical duties. For some, front office work like, greeting patients, scheduling appointments, completing medical records and billing, can be a preferred aspect of the job. Others may choose to focus more on the hands-on aspect of patient care like recording vital signs, preparing patients for examination and basic lab procedures.
