Start Earning Sooner

A shorter program means you can be ready to start your career sooner. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, medical assistants earned a median annual wage of $44,200 in May 2024 (Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2025).

By completing your training in 18 weeks instead of one to two years, you can begin building experience while others are still in school.
