Get started on a new career

I think Clark was a great choice. They have so many scholarships and grants, and so many opportunities. The professors make time for you, and it’s a great option for someone who wants one-on-one attention.

Medical Assistant

Turn your compassion into a career with a certificate in Medical Assistant—a great entry point into the health care field.

Medical assistants prepare the patient for the doctor, take vital signs, maintain records, order prescriptions, do lab testing, and prepare all the tools the doctors need to perform patient care. With Clark College's certificate program, students gain the skills they need to enter the workplace in as little as 15 months. Later, their coursework can serve as a foundation to build on as they continue their education in health care-related fields. Our evening and hybrid class options offer flexibility for working adults.
