clinical Medical Assistant Program

The Dr. Randy Walker Family Practice and Allergy Clinic has partnered with UA Cossatot to offer full sponsorships for the college’s Spanish Clinical Medical Assistant Program. Walker will award over $25,000 in sponsorships for the 140-hour workforce development program designed to prepare students to function as professionals in multiple healthcare settings.

Angie Walker, with Dr. Randy Walker Family Practice and Allergy Clinic, said, “Our goal is to expand access to training and grow the workforce for healthcare employers in the region. This course, ideal for Spanish speaking students, maximizes skill development for the delivery of health care in diverse settings.”

The program will prepare learners to assist physicians by performing functions related to the clinical aspects of a medical office. Instruction includes preparing patients for examination and treatment, routine laboratory procedures, pharmacology, taking and documenting vital signs, technical aspects of phlebotomy, the 12-lead EKG and the cardiac life cycle. The purpose of the Clinical Medical Assisting program is to prepare learners to assist physicians by performing functions related to the clinical aspects of a medical office.

Training is open to candidates with a high school diploma or General Education Development (GED) certification and will be delivered in a classroom based format including skills based labs and activities July 2, 2024   – January 21, 2025.  Classes will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5:00 – 8:00 PM. 

Graduates will be awarded a Career Training Certificate and 14 Continuing Education Units. After completing this program, learners will have the opportunity to take the leading national/industry-recognized certification exams essential to entry-level employment.

UA Cossatot Chancellor Dr. Steve Cole said, “Partnerships between higher-education institutions and employers, like Dr. Walker, improve the prosperity of individuals, businesses, and communities.  This course has been designed to develop student’s knowledge and skills in their first language to provide a strong foundation for the development of those skills in a second language.  Instruction will be delivered in Spanish by a bilingual instructor and supported by classroom materials in English, readying students for national certification.
