Medical Assisting Training Program Overview

 

Kansas City & Lawrence

The Medical Assisting training program in Lawrence and Kansas City offered through WellSpring's School of Allied Health is designed to stand out from the crowd of other schools' Medical Assisting training programs. We accomplish this by the unique way in which we train and prepare you to become a medical assistant.

The training program at our medical assistant school in Lawrence and Kansas City features:

Integrative curriculum
The integrative curriculum, taught by experienced professionals, supports professional competencies of both clinical and administrative skills while emphasizing a wellness lifestyle.
 
Extensive hands-on training
Whether it's in the classroom or in our medical laboratory, our faculty engages you with each lesson. During each course, students spend approximately two-thirds of their time in the lab partnered with another student, practicing skills, demonstrating a mastery of skills, practicing critical medical procedures and testing one another.

Interactive, highly collaborative classes
We use a variety of teaching methods: discussions, demonstrations, team problem solving and more. This way, each student can get the most out of what he or she learns. We acknowledge and address the unique learning style of each student, and foster comprehension and application of that knowledge.

Full test preparation
At the completion of the program, you will be able to take the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) exam. During the program, you will also qualify to take the certification exams for the CPT – Certified Phlebotomist Technician and CET – Certified ECG Technician. Our job is to make sure you're confident in your knowledge, skills and abilities, and eager to take the test.

Career placement services
We work to help you find the perfect job. This begins with an externship, which is part of the Medical Assisting training program requirements, and extends out to our connections with local medical offices.
