Medical Assistant II
Grade Level: High School
Subject: Elective
Type: Career Focused Electives
Medical Assistant Levels 1–3 help students develop the knowledge base, skills, and behaviors that entry-level medical assistants need to succeed. Students will be introduced to anatomy and physiology, diagnostic tests, diseases and disorders, treatments, nutrition as well as personal growth topics such as professionalism, teamwork, and time management. They will learn key functions of medical assistants, such as business communications, patient record maintenance, medical insurance and coding, billing, clinical and laboratory procedures, and specialty examinations and procedures. Levels 1–3 must be taken in sequential order. Prerequisites: Introduction to Medical Terminology and Anatomy and Physiology (Levels 1 and 2). Nursing Assistant with Exam Prep and Medical Assistant with Exam Prep include certification exam preparation as indicated by the course titles. These courses can be taken without labs and will prepare students for the written portion of the exams. Course labs require access to a clinical setting to complete hands-on activities (materials and instruction not provided by Fuel Education). Video tutorials are included in the course labs to provide exposure to skills in addition to hands-on practice. Schools adopting the Career Readiness Pathways will want to establish local solutions for providing students with access to equipment, lab settings and internships, as needed. Practical hour and skill requirements for certifications vary by state; Fuel Education does not provide arrangements for students to complete hands-on requirements.
