The online Medical Office Assistant program was a great first step in my post-secondary education. I found it very convenient to be able to work from home at my own pace, while still having the structure and deadlines of an in-person course. The teachers were very helpful and always responded to any questions I had in a timely manner. I liked that the program was fast-paced without being too stressful. I would recommend this program to any individual looking to start out in the medical field.
