Hands-On Medical Assistant Training and Techniques

The medical assistant diploma program offered by Anthem College—Kansas City prepares students for entry-level positions as  medical assistants, laboratory technicians, and medical secretaries.

If you do not hold a high school diploma or GED, and are interested in this program, please contact us to discuss your options.

Students receive hands-on training in diagnostic and laboratory techniques. They learn how to give injections, and perform venipuncture and urinalysis. They study medical terminologies, the respiratory and circulatory systems, and how to measure blood pressure, body temperatures, pulse, and respiratory rates. They learn how to operate electrocardiology (ECG) machinery and read its graphs, and are also trained to provide medical office emergency procedures.

In addition, students learn key administrative procedures including handling correspondence, scheduling appointments and communicating with patients. They are introduced to the concepts of medical insurance and billing processes and medical recordkeeping.

After they successfully complete all coursework, students enter an externship in a healthcare setting.
