Online medical assistant courses?

I am considering becoming a Medical assistant. I see all these courses for online medical assistant certification. How could this be? There are so many clinical things that seem innapropriate for learning online. Has anyone had experience with these courses?

Re: Online medical assistant courses?

hey, i am considering san diego state univ online. but i am kinda skeptical of online MA courses, I think it may be hard to find a job. But I have talked to a few Doc offices and they said I should be good taking the courses online. I have no experience in this field except volunteer work, and yes I am worried.

I am attending a school called Allied Health Institute.It's online you do your clinicals and externship the last 2 months of the program.The program is accredited and licensed the test to get certified is included in the course.So far it seems okay.

You still have a clinical rotation and externship everything else is online and you do have student liability insurance.
