Medical Assisting
Pre-Requisite: Honors Physical Science minimum C or higher in 8th grade.
The Medical Assisting strand offers students the opportunity to earn a certification as a Certified Electrocardiograph Technician (CET) at the end of their Junior year in high school. During the Senior year of high school, the students will be in a laboratory and classroom setting earning credit hours towards the medical assisting certificate. The student will also be offered the opportunity to earn a certification as a Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA). Since the students are dual enrolled in Robert Morgan Technical College (RMTC) for both years of high school, the students will continue at RMTC immediately upon high school graduation to complete their clinical practicum experience in medical assisting in one summer trimester of study.
