And if you live in or near Arlington, Va., you can get the training you need to enter this exciting and rewarding field at the Arlington campus of Everest College.
Everest College in Arlington is part of the Everest family of colleges, universities and institutes that has nearly 100 campuses throughout the United States. Its Medical Assistant program is one of the largest and most successful programs of its kind in America. In fact, over the last 10 years, Everest has graduated more medical assistant students and has placed more medical assistants in health care jobs than any other school in the nation.
Why is Everest’s Medical Assistant career education program so successful? Here are some of the key factors in the program’s success:
• The Instructors — At Everest College, the Medical Assistant program instructors are former medical assistants. They know the business. They speak the language. They’ve mastered the skills. But even more important than their professional excellence is their caring attitude. Medical Assistant instructors come to Everest because they’re passionate about their profession and want to share that enthusiasm with young people. They’re eager to see their students succeed and will go that extra mile to give each student the individual support he or she needs.
• The Facility — Everest College is designed to give students the kind of real-world education that will serve them best once they leave school. Students work in small, intimate groups that promote communication and the sharing of ideas, while a simulated health care office setting allows for true hands-on training that promotes quick learning and personal confidence.
• The Follow-Up — Everest College is first and foremost a career education institution. Training for post-graduation employment begins on day one of classes and continues even after a student has graduated. Our dedicated Career Services staff works with each student to make sure he/she has a strong resume, knows effective interviewing techniques and is put in touch with local employers in need of their skills.
