PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ASSISTANT PROGRAM

The Professional Medical Assistant program is a residential program offered within an active healthcare setting delivered using didactic, laboratory, observational, and experiential-learning instructional types. It has been designed to prepare students for an exciting career in medicine, one of the most prestigious service industries in our society. The demands of the modern medical office created by a medical system strained by a growing population, economic realities, the lack of a uniform entry standard, and rapidly advancing technology, makes innovation in training of the medical workforce absolutely necessary. With this training Kino College graduates will have an advantage in the marketplace and will be more desirable to employers having participated in this progressive program. It is the goal of this program that Kino College graduates will have a competitive advantage for success in the best jobs available in the medical community.

Taught primarily by active and former medical practitioners, the program prepares students desiring to work as a Medical Assistant with healthcare and administrative skills for success in medical offices, urgent care facilities, schools, hospitals and clinics, or for further advancement in a specialized field. The program further distinguishes itself among the medical assisting training community with its focus on medical specialties and clinical training. The curriculum utilizes a systems approach similar to that used to train physicians and other medical professionals. Critical thinking and problem solving are integrated throughout the curriculum to prepare students to meet the demands of the rapidly changing medical environment.

The program provides compulsory knowledge in the arts and sciences of modern medicine necessary for a successful career as a Medical Assistant. It promotes personal and professional development, self-confidence, maturity, ethical conduct and integrity, all of which are strongly desired in a professional person and are highly sought by employers. Students are guided through the culture of medicine with training in medical terminology, medico-legal issues, and professional ethics. Teaching methods that integrate learning styles balance instruction in the major clinical areas with the administrative, secretarial, and laboratory sciences.
