ABOUT THE PROGRAM
What Does the Medical Assistant Program Include?
A medical assistant handles both clinical and administrative tasks in outpatient healthcare settings. The role is one of the most versatile in the healthcare workforce, and medical assistant classes in Queens, NY at IP Training School are built to develop both skill sets from day one.
The dual foundation is what makes the credential practical. Employers are not looking for someone who can only take vitals or only answer phones. They want staff who can move between exam rooms and the front desk without missing a beat.
The clinical side of the program covers:
- Vital signs including blood pressure, temperature, pulse, and respiratory rate
- Phlebotomy and proper specimen collection and handling
- EKG setup, lead placement, and equipment operation
- Medication preparation and administration under physician supervision
- Infection control and sterile technique
- Assisting physicians during exams and minor procedures
The administrative side covers:
- Electronic health record (EHR) navigation and patient documentation
- Appointment scheduling, patient intake, and coordination
- Insurance checks, prior authorization, and basic billing
- HIPAA rules and patient privacy standards
- Front-office work and communication with clinical staff

LOCAL CONTEXT
Why the Borough Has Become One of NYC's Top Markets for Medical Assistant Work
Queens has a healthcare network that spans major hospital systems, group practices, community health centers, and one of the highest counts of urgent care locations in the five boroughs.
The patient base is among the most culturally diverse in the world. That mix creates steady demand for front-line healthcare staff who can communicate clearly and handle a wide range of patient needs.
Key employers actively hiring MAs across the borough include:
- NewYork-Presbyterian Queens Medical Group in Flushing, part of a major academic health network, with active MA openings in specialty and surgical practices as of 2026

Roughly 112,300 openings are expected each year over that decade, driven by the growth of outpatient care and the need to replace workers who retire or move on.
The median annual wage for medical assistants reached $44,200 in May 2024. In the local market, entry-level hourly rates range from $20.75 to $21.34, with over 1,700 active MA job listings as of July 2026.
According to NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst, the hospital received close to 700,000 outpatient visits and over 130,000 emergency room visits in the most recent period. It is the main public tertiary care provider for the borough.
