Meet a Medical Assistant Diploma Program Graduate

Meet Samantha Brandt-Lopez, a graduate of Rockford Career College's medical assistant diploma program. Dissatisfied with her career options, Samantha sought to better herself and her community by studying medical assisting. Through patience, hard work, and compassion for her patients, Samantha successfully earned her diploma. “Graduating from RCC definitely opened up doors to many opportunities for me,” says Samantha. “It is such an empowering feeling, incomparable to anything else.”

What You Learn in a Medical Assistant Diploma Program

During the program, Samantha took courses such as Administrative Procedures, Medical Terminology and Systems, and Minor Surgical Procedures, to name a few.

In these courses, she learned:

  • Administrative tasks and procedures as required in a medical office
  • Terminology required for effective communication with other medical staff members
  • Diagnostic procedures and operational functions necessary in a healthcare setting

Additionally, Samantha completed a 170-hour externship with 160 of those hours in a healthcare setting. This allowed her to gain practical experience applying everything she had learned during the program.
