Lincoln Tech Introduces Medical Assistant Training at Indianapolis Campus
April 08 2021 - 8:30AM
Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), marking 75
years in 2021 as a national leader in specialized technical
training, announces the introduction of healthcare career training
to its landmark Indianapolis, IN campus. Set to address a projected
gap of more than 20,000 openings in Indiana - and more than 900,000
across the country - the Medical Assistant program will mark the
first offering from Lincoln’s healthcare division at the
Indianapolis campus.
“Our industry partners have communicated that there is a
pronounced skills gap in Indiana for healthcare support
professionals like Medical Assistants,” says Lincoln Tech President
and CEO Scott Shaw. “Bringing Medical Assistant career training to
Indianapolis will not only address the state’s need, but also the
nation’s as students from across the country have chosen this
campus to further their career goals.”
“We saw that there was a shortage of training
opportunities in the area for people who want to pursue Medical
Assistant careers at one of the most challenging times ever for the
healthcare industry,” says Campus President Brent Jenkins. “While
we’re historically known as a regional leader in Transportation and
Skilled Trade career training, we’ve been able to transform a
section of our campus into a facility that offers Doctors Office
Classrooms and other healthcare-specific training settings. We’ve
teamed with local industry partners to ensure our curriculum
addresses the skills Medical Assistants need to have in today’s
challenging, fast-paced environment, and are excited to launch this
program on May 24th.”
Indianapolis becomes the eleventh Lincoln Tech campus
offering the Medical Assistant program. The Diploma-granting
program can be completed in approximately nine months. Students
will receive 880 instructional hours, including an Administrative
Medical Office simulation course and an internship that provides
them with real-world experience in a healthcare facility. Course
topics include cardiopulmonary medical procedures, medical
administration, clinical lab techniques, surgical procedures and
more.
Upon graduation, students will be eligible to sit for the
Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) exam.
Successful completion of the exam will qualify students to pursue
careers as Medical Assistants and EKG Technicians in private
practices, clinics, and other facilities, or as Unit/Ward Clerks in
hospital settings.
Lincoln Tech’s Indianapolis campus has served students
from Indiana and across the country for more than 60 years. The
campus also offers career training in Automotive Technology, Diesel
and Truck Technology, Collision Repair and Refinishing, Electrical
and Electronic Systems Technology, Computerized Manufacturing, and
Welding.
* Career growth projections can be found at onetonline.org for
the years 2018-2028 (state) and 2019-2029 (nationwide), and are
current as of March 31, 2021.
