Medical assistants complete administrative and clinical tasks in the offices of physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities. A CCMA’s duties vary with the location, specialty, and size of the practice. Course topics include patient care; communication; office administration; medical law and ethics; phlebotomy; and EKG monitoring.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says employment in this field is projected to grow more than 20 percent through 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations.
