What Is a Medical Assistant?

Medical Assistants are essential members of the healthcare team. They work in physician offices, urgent care centers, specialty clinics, and hospitals โ€” handling both clinical and administrative responsibilities.

At Bliss Medical Academy, our Medical Assistant program combines online coursework with scheduled hands-on lab sessions at our Duluth campus. You learn real clinical skills using the same equipment and procedures employers use every day.

Upon completion, you'll be prepared to pursue national certification (such as the CMA through AAMA or RMA through AMT) and begin your healthcare career in the greater Atlanta area and beyond.

Hybrid Format: Complete theory and coursework online at your own pace, then attend scheduled in-person lab sessions at our 3195 Buford Hwy campus in Duluth, GA for hands-on clinical practice.
