Lake Land College’s Kluthe Center introduces new hybrid classes for Medical Assistant
The Lake Land College Medical Assistant Program is expanding to the Kluthe Center in Effingham where classes will be available in a hybrid format.
A hybrid format class is designed with the typical busy student in mind as classes are offered online with labs held only one night each week.
“We are excited to offer hybrid classes at the Kluthe Center because approximately half of our current students are from the Effingham area,” said Medical Assistant Instructor Molly Yeske.
Medical Assistant is a special admission program that trains students in both administrative and clinical duties in health care settings. Administrative duties of the medical assistant may include assistance with office procedures, scheduling and billing and clinical duties may include patient care, phlebotomy and injections. The Medical Assistant program is available as a two-year associate in applied science degree or one-year certificate program.
Lake Land College is preparing students well with a near perfect employment rate upon graduation. Yeske stated, “Nearly 100 percent of Medical Assistant students at Lake Land College were employed within one month of graduation.”
