独家爆料 is partnering with Rio Salado College to offer our Adult Education students a direct pathway to enroll in 独家爆料's medical assisting micro-credential program from the GED program at Rio Salado College. Beginning this week, Adult Education students who complete their GED at Rio Salado can enroll in 独家爆料鈥檚 18-unit Medical Assisting Certificate of Completion program. This program can give students the skills and knowledge they鈥檒l need to prepare them for front office work in the medical field. Take this pathway and one day you too can be the friendly face people see when they walk into the doctor's office
The new partnership provides underserved students a unique opportunity to co-enroll in non-credit adult education programming, such as English language courses or studies toward a high school equivalency diploma, and a college certificate program in a high-demand healthcare field. Rio Salado is the largest provider of adult education courses in Arizona and is a three-time winner of the Adult Education Program of the Year award from the Arizona Department of Education. 独家爆料 was recently identified as one of the most affordable educational institutions in the country to earn a medical assistant certificate. In addition to the latest training in the field, medical assisting students from 独家爆料 receive hands-on training through clinical externship.
Students interested in getting started in this program should contact Rio Salado鈥檚 Adult Education Department at 480.517.8110 or by email at gedinfo@riosalado.edu. For more details, visit .
