Kaplan University

Associate of Applied Science in Medical Assisting

The medical assisting program is designed to provide an education that concentrates on helping students acquire knowledge and develop skills in performing laboratory, clinical, and medical office procedures.* As a medical assistant, you could assist the physician with routine medical exams, record vital signs and medical histories, explain treatment procedures to patients and their families, and run routine laboratory tests. In addition to the online program, you will have the opportunity to complete an unpaid clinical instruction experience and an unpaid externship in an ambulatory setting to complete your course of study. Graduates are eligible to take the Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) exam, given by the American Association of Medical Assistants; or the Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) exam, offered by the American Medical Technologists.†

*Please note that the medical assisting program prepares students for a different career path than a nursing program and is not recommended for individuals who wish to pursue a nursing career or nursing degree.

†Although certain programs at Kaplan University are designed to prepare students to take various certification or licensing exams, the University cannot guarantee the student will pass those exams. In some cases, field experience and/or background checks may be necessary to be eligible to take or to successfully pass the exams.
