MAs perform minor clinical duties that make a medical facility run smoothly and successfully, ensuring the best treatment experience for both doctor and patient.

We prepare professionals of the highest caliber and give our students skills and confidence needed to succeed. Our graduates work in top medical offices and hospitals across the United States.
We believe that our MA program is one of the best in Illinois. The attendance is twice a week (full time) and once a week (part time), and since we limit our classes to 12 people, our students get a lot of attention from the instructors.
We are excited to offer a Combined Clinical Esthetics and Medical Assisting program, which includes the entire curricula of both programs. The program is designed for extremely ambitious people who are ready to study hard and complete both programs in approximately 6 months by attending 5 days a week.
