The HI-9700 Clinical Medical Professional program is recommended for those who wish to work directly alongside patients in a clinical medical environment. Graduates of this program differentiate themselves from the field of Medical Assistants by completing comprehensive course in Phlebotomy and Electrocardiography, creating a path for the Medical Assistant to perform advanced job roles that can lead to greater marketability and earning power.

Because today’s medical assistant will be called upon to perform a variety of clinical and administrative duties, this program covers a wide range of skills and objectives that expand beyond the routine functions of a Medical Assistant. Chief among these expanded responsibilities are tasks related to and around the practice of Phlebotomy and Electrocardiography. This program contains courses specifically designed to prepare students with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform blood draws, collect and handle blood and non-blood specimens, perform EKG and cardiac testing, and maintain a safe clinical environment.

Upon successful completion of this program, students will have met the training requirements to sit for the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) exam, and the Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA) exam, both of which are sponsored by the National Healthcareer Association (NHA). Additionally, students will have the knowledge to complete the training requirements relevant to the Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) certification exam, and the EKG exam, both sponsored by the NHA. Once hired as a Medical Assistant, students will be able to complete the 30 venipunctures, 10 capillary sticks required for the CPT exam and a minimum of 10 EKGs required of the CET exam."
