Program Details

AMI is accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). Students entering AMI are prepared for a rewarding career as Medical Assistants. During the course of the program, students are trained in lab procedures, clinical skills, and office administration. Anatomy and Physiology with Terminology, CPR, light typing, and other courses are also taught. Students at AMI learn skills both in the classroom and in an actual clinical setting even before their externship. Since AMI students have the benefit of actually utilizing and improving on their skills in an actual clinical setting they are ready for immediate employment upon graduation.

Many public and private institutions offer only the courses required to take the National Registered/Certified Medical Assistant Exams*. Upon completion of AMI’s Medical Assistant course, AMI students are also qualified to take the National Registered/Certified exams for EKG Technician and Phlebotomy Technician in addition to the Medical Assistant exams. The additional certifications give AMI students the leading edge in employment opportunities and income in the healthcare industry.

All equipment at AMI used for instructional purposes is comparable to what is found in area clinics, hospitals, doctors' offices and labs. Our programs use microscopes, a QBC auto reader, centrifuges, universal x-ray equipment, as well as other state-of-the-art equipment. Students are also trained in the most up-to-date office equipment including computers. All programs use the latest textbooks, handouts, and visual aids.

Its facilities include a large classroom for lectures, a large lab for clinical and clerical skills practice, a combination lecture/lab room, a library, and a large student lounge.

*Many regions of the country use the designation “Registered” for successfully passing the exams while all other regions use the designation “Certified”. Both designations signify ultimate achievement of training in their respective specialties.
