Hands-On Medical Assistant Training

BTC’s medical assistant training program is designed to provide you with the necessary knowledge and skills required to become a medical assistant. From medical terminology to minor clinical procedures and basic administrative tasks, you will complete the program with a well-rounded medical assisting knowledge. 

At Boardman Training Center, we believe in learning by doing. That’s why our program highlights the importance of hands-on learning under the guidance of experienced instructors. As a medical assistant student at BTC, you will practice medical procedures such as phlebotomy, injections, basic wound care, vital signs, suture removal, and more in a simulated medical environment. This hands-on teaching method prepares students for the real-world challenges of a medical career. Our instructors also provide guidance and support to help students develop the skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in the medical field.

In addition to the comprehensive medical assistant training that students at BTC receive, they will also become prepared to sit for two industry-specific National Healthcareer Association (NHA) certification* exams: the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA)* exam and the Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA)* exam.  

Obtaining an NHA certification proves to employers that you have gained the skills and knowledge to do the medical assistant job with confidence and competence. Furthermore, an NHA certification also helps to set you apart from other medical assistant candidates, as employers recognize the hard work and dedication you have put into obtaining this credential.

How Boardman Training Center Is Different

At BTC, we know that our students must balance school with their other responsibilities, so we strive to make the education process as seamless as possible. That’s why we combine hands-on instruction during smaller classes to provide students with a one-on-one approach to education. This ensures that each individual gets personalized attention from instructors so that they understand the material thoroughly. 

The added flexibility of attending Boardman Training Center can be extremely helpful for students who have family or work responsibilities. By offering day and evening classes, students can attend training in a way that fits their busy lives. 

Additionally, BTC understands that financing the academic process is a significant concern for many students. Our flexible financing options allow students to complete their education without needing student loans. Our accelerated programs are designed to train students for their careers in less time, thus eliminating a lengthy education that can cost valuable time and money. The BTC Director’s office will work with each student to create an individualized financial plan to help students achieve their educational goals.
