Why Healthcare?

The healthcare industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the country — and medical assistants are among the most in-demand roles. Whether you're working in retail, food service, an office, or just looking for a change, a medical assistant career offers stability, purpose, and growth.

Job Security

Medical assistant jobs are projected to grow much faster than average. People will always need healthcare — which means you'll always have career opportunities.

Meaningful Work

Every day, you'll help patients feel comfortable and cared for. It's a career where you make a real difference in people's lives.

Competitive Pay

Medical assistants earn a median salary of $42,000 per year, with room to grow as you gain experience and certifications.

I had the pleasure of meeting the instructors, Ms. Thai and Ms. Shajuana, at this Medical Assistant school, and they were absolutely great! I truly appreciate their wonderful hospitality and the warm, welcoming environment they created. It’s clear they are passionate about what they do and dedicated to pouring into their students. I would gladly return to teach their BLS class again in the future. Keep up the great work and continue inspiring the next generation in healthcare! Read less

I had an amazing experience at Houston Medical Assistant School! This program truly prepares you for success, and I’m so grateful I chose to attend. The hands-on training, supportive environment, and real-world skills we learned made such a difference in my confidence as a future medical assistant. Ms. Shajuana and Ms. Thai were honestly the best part of the class. They took out extra time and went the extra mile to make sure we fully understood the material and felt confident in our skills. No matter how many questions we had, they were patient, encouraging, and genuinely cared about our success. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and about helping their students grow. I would absolutely recommend Ms. Shajuana, Ms. Thai, and the entire school to anyone wanting to become a medical assistant. If you’re looking for a program that supports you, challenges you, and truly wants to see you succeed, this is the place to go! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read less

I have been in this program for 11 weeks, and one thing I can say for sure is that the instructors teach you everything you need for hands-on practice. The necessary resources are provided as well. However, the real experience begins when you start your externship. Finding an externship is your own responsibility, which can be tiring and challenging. Read less

I started my class in October and test out in February. I didn’t realize there was such a broad scope of education to become a medical assistant but my instructors (Ms. Nina, Ms. Ronda and Ms. Keisa) have made my journey such a great experience. They’re knowledgeable and dynamic in their approach to teaching and supporting us; they never make you feel less than or stupid. I’m very grateful I ended up with the instructors and some of the classmates I’m with. I’d definitely recommend this course, although I do feel like the instruments/equipment needed to be purchased should be disclosed prior to the class being paid for. Also, the student advisor, Peyton, doesn’t communicate well and I feel like she needs to work on how better to support students considering she holds the student advisor title. Read less

The school is good but I graduated last year and still haven’t gotten a job. I call them for help but they never call me back and nobody wants to hire somebody with no experience ☹️
