Medical Assisting (Whatcom Community College)
The Medical Assisting (MA) degree/certificate program is designed to train students to work as a member of an ambulatory health care team, performing a broad range of clinical and administrative tasks under the supervision of a physician, physician�۪s assistant or nurse practitioner. Program space is limited and a special application process is required (see below). Students accepted in the MA degree and certificate programs take the same clinical training and administrative skill coursework.
