The Associate of Science in Medical Assisting program at South University prepares students for diverse roles in the health care sector, focusing on both clinical and administrative skills essential for medical assistants. Recognized as key contributors to healthcare teams, medical assistants engage in a variety of tasks across physicians’ offices, clinics, and other health care environments.
This online program emphasizes a competency-based education, ensuring students achieve mastery in critical clinical and administrative competencies. Assessment of these competencies is conducted through tests, terminal performance objectives, and a clinical externship.
Key components of the program include:
- A required 160-hour, unpaid, supervised practicum at a local medical practice in the final quarter.
Students are responsible for reviewing national and state licensure requirements and eligibility for licensure exams. South University does not guarantee that graduates will pass the required licensure examinations. The requirements for certification and licensure are controlled by external agencies and may change without notice.
