Program Description:

The Medical Assisting program at Ivy Tech offers exciting, hands-on learning where student simulations are as “real-life” as possible. Students in the program get to learn from faculty who are credentialed and have real experience in the field. In addition, students have the opportunity to participate in an externship in the community. Classes will focus on patient care, venipuncture, electrocardiogram, vital signs, injections, medical coding, electronic charting and medical records. Students will learn in a variety of settings, including a computer lab, phlebotomy lab, laboratory skills lab, and clinical skills lab with two fully functioning patient exam rooms. This training prepares students to sit for the Certified Medical Assistant certification exam through the American Association of Medical Assistants, which is becoming a credential requirement for most employers.

The Medical Assisting program is a selective program (varies by campus). When you apply to the college, you will be accepted into the undeclared program while you complete the prerequisite requirements. The Medical Assisting program at Ivy Tech has a selective admissions process, which means not all students who apply to the associate degree or technical certificate program will be accepted. Details vary according to campus. Learn More about Selective Admissions.

Students who are admitted to the program will be required to pay for and submit to a criminal background check, drug testing and physical exam. The details and process will be provided at an orientation. Displayed pricing is based on full-time enrollment. For more information about tuition and fees, please visit our website.
