Frequently Asked Questions

Please choose from the dropdown to review a category of FAQs

  • Helping multiple modern wellness environments, Medical Assistants work in physicians’ offices, outpatient clinics, hospitals, assisted-living facilities, and private and government-run healthcare centers. A Certified Medical Assistant is “a professional who performs administrative and routine clinical tasks in a medical setting.”

    Yet, in some health environments, the role is categorically separated into two independent positions: A) an administrative Medical Assistant conducting office tasks solely, or B) a clinical Medical Assistant singularly functioning as a medical support person.1

  • According to the Medical Board of California, per Title 16 California Code of Regulations, sections 1366.3(a)(1) and 1366.3 (a)(2), a Medical Assistant may train in one of two ways, including the following:

    Section 1366.3(a)(1), training under a licensed physician or podiatrist, who shall ascertain the proficiency of the Medical Assistant, or under a registered nurse, licensed vocational nurse, physician assistant, or a qualified Medical Assistant acting under the direction of a licensed physician or podiatrist.1 

    Section 1366.3 (a)(2), in a secondary, postsecondary, or adult education program in a public school authorized by the Department of Education, in a community college program provided for in Part 48 of Division 7 of the Education Code, or a postsecondary institution accredited by an accreditation agency recognized by the United States Department of Education or approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education.1

  • Stressors and difficulties can only be validated through individual experiences. Both programs require a commitment to their professions.

    Gurnick Academy’s Medical Assistant Program is eight (8) months* in duration and consists of seven courses. The program enrolls on a rolling basis every four weeks.

    A typical day involves lectures and laboratory work. Classes are a mix of two on-campus sessions, each lasting four hours (day and evening classes available), and distance education sessions that provide time flexibility for students who work or manage other responsibilities while in school.

    On the other hand, students must first take the Vocational Nurse Diploma program to be eligible for the ASVN program at Gurnick Academy. The diploma program is 13 months or 52 approved instructional weeks.

    After this, students must earn an A.S. in Vocational Nursing, which takes eight months* to complete. Therefore, a Vocational Nurse program is much longer than the eight months* needed for the Medical Assistant program.

  • Helping multiple modern wellness environments operate, Medical Assistants work in physicians’ offices, outpatient clinics, hospitals, assisted-living facilities, and private and government-run healthcare centers.”1 The role is often a healthcare hybrid, with the Medical Assistant performing clerical tasks and another part practicing medical service.

    These professionals generally perform an array of duties. From answering phone calls and emails to physically aiding a nurse or physician, medical assistants conduct essential organizational tasks to facilitate and support overall healthcare operations. Generally, a Medical Assistant helps to ensure processes function more efficiently.2
