 Employment of medical assistants is expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations as the health services industry expands due to technological advances in medicine, and a growing and aging population. Employment growth will be driven by the increase in the number of group practices, clinics, and other health care facilities that need a high proportion of support personnel. Job prospects should be best for medical assistants with formal training or experience, particularly those with certification.  “The education and degree that I obtained at Briarwood not only gave me the skills and knowledge needed to pursue a career in the health care field, but it enabled me to move up the career ladder into a succession of increasingly responsible positions.” Cheryl Carrier, C.M.A., A.A.S. Executive Medical Assistant Program Class of 2000 Cheryl is currently Acting Director and Lead Instructor of the C.M.A. Program at Casa Loma College, Van Nuys, CA | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
