A medical assistant program can help prepare you for a variety of tasks in a hospital, clinic, and many other healthcare facilities. You can enroll in a program offered either in a traditional classroom setting or online. Here are the benefits and drawbacks of online training:
Advantages of Online Training
- Flexibility. Online training allows you to fit classes into your busy schedule.
- Mobility. Unlike campus-based medical assistant programs that are not available everywhere, you can access medical assistant training courses online anytime, anywhere, with courses configured for most types of devices.
- No Dress Code. You do not need to purchase scrub uniforms other institutions require students to wear.
- Less Costly. Virtual training programs are more affordable and cost-effective. You do not have to purchase physical copies of books and learning material.
Disadvantages of Online Training
- No Hands-On Experience. Online medical training programs do not provide on-the-job training to help you master certain tasks.
- Limited Support. Online training offers fewer career networking opportunities and limited assistance in preparing for certification exams. You will also be on your own finding a location for internships.
