Is Medical Assistant the New “It” Career?
If you are someone who enjoys caring for others and has an empathetic heart, then you may have already thought about becoming a medical assistant and putting your skills to the test. Fortunately, medical assistant jobs are on the rise, and 2019 is going to be a year of good growth within this career path.
Now is your opportunity to join the hottest “it” career and get your foot in the door.
If you’re considering training for a new career, consider becoming a medical assistant. FCC’s Medical Assistant School will provide you with the career training you need to become a medical assistant in as little as 10 months.
MEDICAL ASSISTANTS ARE IN DEMAND RIGHT NOW
As you search for a new career, you may question whether the choice is a good one or not. Hey, let’s face it – we have all wanted that one career that sounds awesome, but no one is hiring for it and you need experience to be hired but no one wants to offer experience. The cycle continued, but, not as a medical assistant.
The job market for Medical Assistants is expected to grow, especially because of the aging population. This means that once you graduate our medical assistant technician program, you will be ready to jump into the workforce in an entry-level medical assisting position.
As baby boomers and seniors continue to age, there is a growing need for care and you will find that doctors’ offices, home health facilities, nursing homes, and hospitals need medical assistants.
GREAT BENEFITS AND SCHEDULING IS FLEXIBLE
Whether you have a family or not, you need a good work-life balance and becoming a medical assistant will allow you just that. Most medical assistants, those who work in doctors’ offices or private practices, have a Monday to Friday schedule. This means that you do not have to worry about weekends and even holidays.
Many medical assistant careers come with a wonderful benefits package too which can include dental and medical benefits, paid time off, 401k plans, and more.
EXCELLENT PAY AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW
While most people do not choose their career based on pay alone, it is always nice to choose a career that may pay well depending on where you work.
As a medical assistant, there is opportunity for growth as well. While you can become a medical assistant technician by completing a diploma program, you also have the option to become certified by taking a national exam. Once you are certified, your employer is likely to pay you more money.
CMAs, or Certified Medical Assistants, can also train and earn certifications in additional areas too such as phlebotomy, EKG, and more. Your continued education and training can help you advance in the workplace and may provide you with an additional wage.
