While the reason for the income change is most graduates prior to enrolling in the program worked minimum wage jobs. The income increase is also attributable to the graduate’s improved earning-power.

Why Medical Assistants Are in High Demand in the San Francisco Bay Area

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the employment of medical assistants is projected to grow 29 percent nationally from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations.

The aging baby-boom population will continue to increase demand for preventive medical services, which are often provided by physicians.

An education that can change a life.
