ABOUT
The Massage Therapy Program is a well-planned sequence of courses, with each class preparing the student for the more intensive information to follow. The curriculum reinforces the mission of the program, which is to give each individual the scientific knowledge, manual skills, and mastery of business to successfully become a professional massage therapist. Three areas of study form the CORE of the curriculum. The CORE curriculum encompasses:
(1) Exact Knowledge of Musculoskeletal Anatomy and Kinesiology.
(2) Excellence in Applying Swedish / Deep Tissue Massage, NeuroMuscular Therapy, Chair Massage and Reflexology.
(3) The Ability and Motivation to Be a Success at “The Business of Massage Therapy.”
The Medical Assisting Diploma is designed to bridge the gap between the traditional nurse in the physician's office and the medical secretary. This diploma prepares graduates for a position in the medical office in a clinical capacity. In addition to clinical and basic laboratory procedures, students learn current medical technology, medical codes, and other skills necessary to excel in the healthcare industry. Upon completion of a Diploma in Medical Assisting, students will have taken a variety of courses related to the healthcare field.
Courses include Anatomy and Physiology, Pharmacology, Phlebotomy, and other Medical Lab classes. Students will also qualify to sit for national certification as a Medical Assistant (CMA), Phlebotomy Technician, and EKG Technician. To ensure a well-rounded medical assistant, the Medical Assisting program covers medical insurance and coding, medical transcription, and medical bookkeeping as it relates to the medical office.
