Medical Assisting Class of 2025 earns 100 percent exam pass rate
Meridian Community College's Medical Assisting Technology Program Class of 2025 graduates successfully passed their national credentialing exam for a 100 percent pass rate.
Gloria Adams, Medical Assisting Technology instructor and program coordinator, noted this year's class included Eryanna Daniah Mason, J’Nayah Simone Moore, Ja’miyah Brandasia Nelson, Victoria Purnell, Takyah G. Smith, and Kizzie Contae Wilson.
“Our Medical Assisting Technology graduates have shown remarkable dedication and resilience every step of the way. Their success on the board exams reflects their hard work and commitment. I’m incredibly proud of each of them as they launch their careers and begin making a difference in healthcare,” said Adams.
The Medical Assisting Technology Program at MCC, a 65-credit-hour program that awards the associate of applied science degree, gives students the knowledge and skills to help ensure job placement in the ever-growing medical field. Medical assistants are trained as multi-skilled healthcare delivery team members and perform business administrative and clinical procedures.
According to the U.S. Government's Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of medical assistants is projected to grow 14 percent from now to 2032, much faster than the average for all occupations. "About 114,600 openings for medical assistants are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force," officials from the bureau noted.
