Medical and Dental Administrative Assistant Program

The Medical & Dental Administrative Assistant Program provides students with the training and skills necessary to work in various medical and dental settings in as little as four months. Students who participate in this program will learn billing and coding, reimbursement and insurance, business communications, medical and dental computer software products, and managing health records electronically.

ACI Medical & Dental School offers added value for our students that sets us apart from other programs. Some of the advanced features of our Medical & Dental Administrative Assistant Program include:

NHA Certification.  Once this program has been successfully completed, students will be Certified Billing and Coding Specialists, Certified Medical Administrative Assistants, and Certified Electronic Health Record Specialists through the National Healthcareer Association.

One Program, Two Industries.  Rather than focusing on either the medical or dental field, this program will prepare you for a job in either, doubling your potential job opportunities.

Career Assistance.  Our Career Assistance Program (CAP) is an important component of the Medical & Dental Administrative Assistant Program. This comprehensive career readiness training program provides students with the strategies to make career planning a success and assist in reaching their employment goals.

Completing a 180-hour internship at a medical facility is a critical component of our student's education and career preparation. This important opportunity provides our students with the necessary skills and experience required in the medical field while building their resumes. With our internship, students will get hands-on experience in a medical assistant's day-to-day responsibilities in real healthcare settings, including doctors' offices, clinics, and hospitals.
