00:00:00.226 --> 00:00:07.436 A:middle
>> As a medical assistant I know a lot of
people have done their basic education portions,

00:00:07.436 --> 00:00:10.506 A:middle
so general education courses for one year,

00:00:10.586 --> 00:00:13.936 A:middle
just depending on which ones
you still need to complete.

00:00:14.516 --> 00:00:18.686 A:middle
And then the next year or during
that first year you be applying

00:00:18.766 --> 00:00:23.006 A:middle
for the medical assistant program,
which has been that one year program.

00:00:23.316 --> 00:00:28.736 A:middle
So then after you're done with that one year of
the actual core classes for medical assistant,

00:00:28.926 --> 00:00:33.776 A:middle
which include a lab portion,
like a laboratory portion,

00:00:34.306 --> 00:00:37.586 A:middle
an administrative portion,
and the clinical portion.

00:00:37.736 --> 00:00:44.496 A:middle
After you're done with those that one year,
you then do graduate as a medical assistant,

00:00:44.546 --> 00:00:49.436 A:middle
and then from there, you are
encouraged to take a certification exam

00:00:49.436 --> 00:00:51.576 A:middle
to become a certified medical assistant.

00:00:51.966 --> 00:00:55.736 A:middle
At the clinical rotation
definitely can lead you to a job.

00:00:56.176 --> 00:01:01.706 A:middle
Before we, my group of medical
assistants started our clinical rotations,

00:01:01.706 --> 00:01:06.156 A:middle
our teachers always told us that
there is definitely a chance for us

00:01:06.156 --> 00:01:08.056 A:middle
to get a job where we are placed.

00:01:09.526 --> 00:01:15.336 A:middle
And I did after mine five weeks in
the clinical rotation, and, yeah,

00:01:15.336 --> 00:01:17.776 A:middle
you can definitely show them
what you got during that time.

00:01:17.776 --> 00:01:21.416 A:middle
So something I did that I
was able to put on my resume

00:01:21.416 --> 00:01:24.126 A:middle
as I studied abroad and I went to Guatemala.

00:01:24.746 --> 00:01:30.176 A:middle
And it was actually for our
medical group here at WCTC.

00:01:30.176 --> 00:01:34.256 A:middle
Anything like that, anything
that stands out from others.

00:01:34.256 --> 00:01:39.576 A:middle
Anything that like hobbies or different
organizations that you worked with,

00:01:39.966 --> 00:01:46.726 A:middle
different activities that you enjoy or
anything that's just maybe a little different

00:01:46.726 --> 00:01:49.886 A:middle
from someone else's experiences is
always great to put on a resume.
