FROM BCC's MEDICAL ASSISTING STUDENTS |

|  I
chose Medical Assisting because I knew it would be a career that
I would do well in, and be proud of. Along with the college experience
at BCC I forged friendships that will last a life time. I also
enjoy a sense of accomplishment, knowing I achieved the goals
I set for myself at BCC.
Being a medical
assistant, I no longer have the worry of being laid off due to
problems with the economy.
I enjoy my
new career knowing that, at the end of the day, I was able to
help others. Now that I have begun working as a medical assistant,
I have the wonderful satisfaction of doing the job I was trained
for at BCC well. The sense of being part of a team at BCC has
carried over to my new career. I feel very comfortable as a new
team member in the medical field. |

|  After
working as a manufacturer for most of my adult life, I was looking
for a change. The Medical Assisting program at Broome Community
College was a great stepping-stone into the medical field.
The role of a Certified Medical Assistant encourages
multi-tasking capabilities, permitting patient interaction through
clinical and clerical duties. Thus, it's never the same mundane
job. Medical Assisting is a growing field with many employment
possibilities.
This solid base opens up many different fields
as a start to my life as a medical professional. |

Having a degree as a Medical Assistant can open
more doors than people realize. Most students assume that once
their degree is completed they will go and work in a physicians
office, but this is not the only option that is available. As
a graduate of the BCC Medical Assisting program, my career path
has led me to a number of different positions within the medical
field, including:
- OR Scrub
Tech, Birthing Center
- Pre-Admission
Test Assistant for Direct Admissions and Pre-Op surgery
- Medical
Office Assistant, Cancer Center and Occupational/Employee Health
- Phlebotomy,
including Specimen Processing and Phlebotomy Trainer
- Health
Office/Assistant to the School Nurse- Binghamton City Schools
- Team
Leader, Support Services Phlebotomy-Specimen Processing
If there
were one word to describe this program it would be versatile.
Graduates have the knowledge to be able to multi-task within different
areas of a variety of types of health care facilities. This makes
Medical Assistants valuable assets to organizations in whatever
career path graduates choose.
