Healthcare support professionals like Medical Assistants are expected to be in demand around Illinois over the next decade, but you need career-specific skills to break in.

As a Medical Assistant, you’ll work directly with patients: taking their vital signs, recording medical histories, collecting specimens and more.

  • Give you hands-on experience working with equipment such as EKG machines, injection simulators, autoclaves, lung function tests and more.
  • Help you learn to take vital signs, read and update charts, apply surgical dressings and practice phlebotomy tasks like specimen collection and lab testing.
  • Let you test your skills on simulation manikins that you'll "treat” for ailments.
  • Put you in realistic medical offices called Doctor’s Office Classrooms (DOCs), which fully simulate professional healthcare offices from reception to exam rooms.
  • Expose you to digital technology including hardware, software and word processing.
  • Include classes in anatomy and physiology, health administration, pharmacology and much more.
  • Give you the opportunity to take part in a “virtual medical course” and a 180-hour clinical externship for valuable real-world experience before you graduate.

As a graduate, you can pursue career paths as a:

  • Medical Assistant in private practices and public facilities
