When students first start their medical assistant training, they often think about learning the skills to take vitals, complete EKGs, draw blood, and other skills to help them fulfil their role as a future medical assistant. However, if they want to gain the maximum from their medical assistant training, students should also pay special attention to the social capital they can earn through their education.
Simply put, social capital consists of relationships and professional connections that can lead to professional opportunities for individuals throughout their careers. For healthcare professionals, social capital can lead to job opportunities and promote networking and professional development.
At Bay Area Medical Academy, students can take advantage of the professional relationships they can develop to build their own social capital and help advance their careers.
On starting medical assistant training, students will meet and learn from faculty, fellow students, and healthcare professionals who will become a significant part of their professional networks.
Building professional relationships through medical assistant training can open the door to many Bay Area healthcare opportunities. Faculty can offer professional advice, while students can build friendships and professional relationships with classmates, which can lead to job recommendations. In addition, students have the opportunity to foster working relationships with established healthcare workers through their clinical externships offered by BAMA. These connections can also help students receive job offers from employers who prefer to hire individuals from BAMA.
With these professional connections, students can receive encouragement, mentorship, and other opportunities to promote their professional careers. Instead of hitting the job market as a recent graduate, students can rely on the professional network gained from their medical assistant training to help them begin their careers.
While technical skills can land students a job, social capital can promote long-term career development. The professional relationships students develop during their education can continue to benefit them thoughout their careers and open the door to additional opportunities as they advance within the healthcare field.
At BAMA, students not only learn the confidence and skills required to become a successful medical assistant, but they also develop a professional network that can help support them throughout their careers.
