Career Opportunities
Similar to many positions in the Healthcare Industry, Medical Assistants are in high demand.
Graduates of the program can expect to work in various Healthcare environments assisting with administrative work, hands on clinical work with patients, and even in specialized offices.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, "employment of medical assistants is projected to grow 18 percent from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations.
About 104,400 openings for medical assistants are projected each year, on average, over the decade.
Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire."
