The Real Cost of Waiting
Every month you spend in a longer program is a month you're not earning a medical assistant salary. Medical assistants in the U.S. earn a median salary of $42,000 per year. By completing your training in 30 weeks instead of 1-2 years, you could earn $42,000+ more during the time others are still in school.
