North Georgia Technical College's Medical Assistant Program was recently named #1 in the state by medicalassistantadvice.com.
The ranking was based on a number of factors including program requirements, courses, employer satisfaction rate, graduation rate, and license exam pass rate.
Medical assistants are allied health professionals who function as members of the health care delivery team and perform administrative and clinical procedures, keeping the offices of physicians and other health practitioners running smoothly.
The Medical Assisting Program provides learning opportunities which introduce, develop, and reinforce academic and occupational knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for job acquisition, retention, and advancement. Additionally, the program provides opportunities to upgrade present knowledge and skills or to retrain in the area of medical assisting. Graduates of the program receive a Medical Assisting diploma. The medical assisting program is offered at both the Clarkesville and Blairsville campuses.
“NGTC is very proud of our Medical Assisting students and faculty,” said Christy Bivins, Dean for Academic Services at NGTC. “This distinction reinforces the type of graduates North Georgia Technical College produces. Our faculty members are also graduates of NGTC’s Medical Assisting Program, which emphasizes the tradition of excellence spanning over generations of students.”
As AccessWDUN reported last the week, the Medical Assisting Program at Lanier Technical College ranks #2 in the state.
