RMA AMT: Medical Assistant Program Overview at ME
Mildred Elley’s Albany Campus offers an ABHES accredited path to a healthcare career through its Medical Assistant programs, perfectly suited for the Capital Region’s growing health care economy. Students can choose between a rapid Clinical Medical Assistant Certificate (completed in as little as 14 months) or a more comprehensive Medical Assistant Associate in Occupational Studies (A.O.S.) degree (typically taking about two years).
Both options provide intensive, hands-on training designed to prepare students for real-life clinical and administrative scenarios. Coursework includes: taking patients’ vital signs, preparing blood samples, and managing electronic health records. The A.O.S. degree delves deeper into subjects like Anatomy & Physiology and Medical Law & Ethics. Instruction takes place in lecture classrooms and practical labs, culminating in clinical externships at local medical facilities.
Upon successful completion of the accredited programs, graduates are prepared for national certifying exams through the National Healthcare Association (NHA), including the CCMA, Phlebotomy (CPT), and EKG (CET) certifications. The school supports career readiness with flexible scheduling options (day, evening, and weekend classes) and valuable lifetime job placement assistance.
Mildred Elley’s focus on practical, accredited training ensures graduates are well-equipped to find work in Albany’s healthcare-dependent economy, aligning with the national projection for Medical Assistant employment to grow much faster than average (14% through 2032).
