They are amazing. They helped me achieve my dream of becoming a medical assistant. With flexible hours, teachers always there to help, and most of all—opportunity. I couldn’t have picked better (training) to achieve my goals.

CareerStep has made learning the most convenient it has ever been. Having to juggle being a military wife, I can sit down at any time and do my schooling at my own pace. Having the support to keep going due to positive outcomes has pushed me a lot. The resources provided are amazing and so helpful!

Online Medical Assistant Program FAQs

Are clinical hours included in my training?

Clinical hours are an essential component of your training—particularly as you work towards certification and potential employment. They give you a chance to test your current skill level and put all your new knowledge to work in real-world settings. That’s why we work with a vast network of healthcare organizations to provide these hands-on learning experiences. Please keep in mind that while clinical hours are included as part of your course, placement is based on a number of factors—including geography and availability—so we can’t guarantee that you’ll find placement in your area.

What will I do as a medical assistant?

A lot. You’ll support doctors, nurses, and other health professionals in medical settings, performing both clinical and administrative tasks. In other words, you’ll play a vital role in keeping healthcare facilities running smoothly. You’ll be hands-on with everything from wound care, phlebotomy, and EKGs to greeting and scheduling patients, managing medical records, and processing health insurance payments.

How much do medical assistants make?

With a career as a certified medical assistant, your certified medical assistant salary will allow you to earn a great income with job security and plenty of upward mobility. Salaries vary by employer, location, and experience, but according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, on average medical assistants earn between $27,000 and $38,340 per year. And, considering the nature of the industry, medical assistant jobs often include healthcare benefits.

What’s the job market like?

Outstanding! In fact, healthcare is one of the fastest growing industries and employment opportunities are abundant. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the demand for medical assistants will increase 29% over the next 10 years. There were over 220,000 medical assistant jobs posted in just the last 12 months!*

Do I have to be certified to work?

Yes and no. While California, Connecticut, Montana, New Jersey, and Washington have certification requirements, most states don’t require medical assistant certification. However, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that employers prefer to hire certified medical assistants.* Certification gives you a competitive advantage and maximizes your earning potential.

Choose your specialty and get certified. (The more the merrier.)

  • Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA)
  • Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA)
  • Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT)*
  • Certified EKG Technician (CET)‡
‡Requires some additional hands-on work: 30 venipunctures + 10 capillary sticks for CPT; 10 EKGs on “real people” for CET.
