UPDATE: EKG training is now formally incorporated into the MA program. It is no longer a separate certification. This allows for a shorter overall program length and requires less time to complete the full program. This was formerly known as the “3-in-1” program.
Our 2-in-1 course bundle has become our most popular program because it combines Medical Clinical Assisting, Phlebotomy, and EKG or electrocardiogram skills training into one course and for one, low tuition cost eligible for Financial Aid. You can also graduate with an optional Associate’s (AAS) Degree in MCA, training towards your California Certified Phlebotomy Technician 1 license. Each course is taken separately with flexible day, night, or weekend schedules available.
