The health care industry is growing, and so is the number of jobs in the field. But you need more than just basic office skills to work in a medical office.

The Medical Administrative Assistant certificate program at Eastfield College will help you learn standard medical office procedures and the terminology used in a medical office. The program includes specialized training in medical coding and other health care topics. Our Career Development course will give you the tools you need to transition from the classroom to the workforce.

Dallas County Community Colleges' programs are designed to be affordable. But if you need assistance paying for your courses, you may qualify for financial aid through the Texas Workforce Commission or Texas Public Education Grant (TPEG).

You can enroll at any time for this program. Every other Tuesday, Eastfield College offers an orientation that provides information about tuition, books, supplies and student services. You can take the 13 required courses for the Medical Administrative Assistant certificate when it's most convenient for you – during the day, in the evenings or on weekends. New classes open every month.
