ABOUT THE PROGRAM
What the Medical Assistant Program Covers
A medical assistant helps doctors and nurses in outpatient clinics. The job mixes patient care with office work, so it is one of the most flexible roles in healthcare.
Medical assistant classes in the Bronx at IP Training School teach both sides from day one. You finish ready for the daily work of a medical office. Both skill sets matter because clinics need staff who can cover the whole visit.
Patients often meet the medical assistant first and last during a visit, so clear communication matters as much as technical skill. This training suits career changers, recent graduates, and working adults. You do not need healthcare experience to begin.
Clinical training covers:
- Vital signs: blood pressure, temperature, pulse, and breathing rate
- Blood draws and specimen handling
- EKG setup and equipment use
- Medication prep under doctor supervision
- Infection control and sterile technique
- Assisting during exams and minor procedures
Administrative training covers:
- Electronic health record (EHR) entry and patient documentation
- Scheduling and patient intake
- Insurance checks, prior authorization, and basic billing
- HIPAA and patient privacy
- Front-office teamwork with clinical staff

LOCAL CONTEXT
Why the Bronx Is a Growing Market for Medical Assistant Work
Residents of the borough face high rates of diabetes, heart disease, and asthma. That keeps clinics busy and creates steady demand for trained front-line staff. Graduates of medical assistant classes in the Bronx step into a market with openings all year.
Employers hiring MAs include:
- Montefiore Medical Center, with campuses at Moses, Einstein, and Wakefield
- BronxCare Health System, a major safety-net provider
- NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln, with over 461,000 clinic visits a year
- NYC Health + Hospitals/North Central Bronx, serving Norwood and Kingsbridge
Urgent care and private practices also hire often:
- CityMD, GoHealth, and AFC Urgent Care sites in Fordham, Tremont, and Riverdale
- Private practices along the Grand Concourse, Fordham Road, and Pelham Parkway
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, medical assistant jobs are projected to grow 12 percent from 2024 to 2034. That is much faster than the average for all jobs.
About 112,300 openings are expected each year.
According to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi, the hospital has 457 beds and teaches with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. It is a Level I Trauma Center with a specialized Burn Center.
Co-op City, Riverdale, and Pelham Bay have growing senior populations. That drives demand for MAs in internal medicine and geriatric practices.
