Hawaii's longest-running leader in healthcare education, since 1974! For over 40 years, Med-Assist School of Hawaii has been a proprietary institution that trains students in Allied Health Services. Our two main academic programs are: Medical Assistant (MA) and Professional Medical Coder (PMC). The MA program was Hawaii's first and has been the school’s primary program since 1974. Our PMC program was recently established in 2011. Our school's total MA annual enrollment averages from 120 to 160 students. The PMC program, over the course of its first year, attracted 19 students. We hold three graduation ceremonies annually, with each ceremony reflecting students who had completed all program requirements since the preceding graduation. In addition to classroom study, Med-Assist's MA students receive on-the-job experience through a required externship with either a licensed physician, or at a hospital or other health care facility. The combination of class, laboratory, and practical experience helps our students transition smoothly into employment as medical assistants. Because of our rich history, there are thousands of Med-Assist alumni sprinkled throughout Hawaii's healthcare facilities, small and large. Chances are, you have been cared for by one of our alums! As they gain experience and rise among their ranks, they often show their loyalty by serving as extern preceptors and mentors for current students. Come see what the buzz is all about!
