This course is designed to assess cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning and to do so in a student-centered and student-directed manner, which requires the command, analysis, and synthesis of knowledge and skills.

This course will prepare the student to leave the academic world and enter into the real world as a medical assistant, the most versatile member of any medical staff.
