IT’S 2 COURSES IN 1 EASY PACKAGE

EARN YOUR MEDICAL ASSISTING + PHLEBOTOMY CERTIFICATIONS IN 9+ MONTHS

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. Click on the individual course links below to learn more about each specific program including class times and schedules.  In the many years we have taught these programs, we have found that graduates of our 2-in-1 course bundle have the best chance of success seeking employment in the medical field because graduates are equipped with a broad set of skill sets not only in Medical Assisting but also be a California licensed Phlebotomist.

"I'm so glad I completed the MA program at RCI. I didn't know it at the time but because Phlebotomy and EKG certification training is included, it allowed me to interview for more jobs and for me to really figure out which job was the best fit for me. I found out later from my Office Manager that I was hired because of my broad skillset not only in Medical Assisting but Phlebotomy and EKG also!"
