As a medical assistant, you will be an integral part of the healthcare delivery team. In this position, you are
considered a "multi-tasked" provider. This means you will be trained and qualified in both clinical and administrative
capabilities.
Medical assistants work closely with doctors in clinics and physicians' offices. You will be entrusted with a variety
of critical responsibilities.
Administrative skills and responsibilities include scheduling and receiving patients, preparing and maintaining
medical records, performing basic secretarial skills and medical transcription, handling telephone calls and written
correspondence, serving as a liaison between physicians and other individuals and managing practice finances.
Clinical responsibilities include taking patient histories and vital signs, performing first aid and CPR, preparing
patients for procedures, assisting the physician with examinations and treatments, infection control, collecting and
processing specimens, performing selected diagnostic tests and preparing and administering medications as directed by
the physician.

Upon completion of the program and passing the licensing examination, as an LVN you can enter the workforce as a competent, skilled nurse. Vocational nurses, as they are called in Texas and California, provide bedside nursing care at the direction of physicians and/or registered nurses. The practice of vocational nursing is based on concepts from the physical, biological and behavioral sciences. Each state has its own nurse practice act, so the scope of practice varies from state to state.
As a surgical technologist, you perform essential tasks before, during and after operations. You work closely with surgeons,
anesthesiologists, registered nurses and other key surgical personnel in hospital operating rooms and outpatient surgery centers.
Surgical technologists play a critical role in patient care.
Graduates will be eligible to sit for the national examination leading to the Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) credential as
sponsored by the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA) formerly known as the Liaison Council on
Certification for the Surgical Technologist (LCC-ST).
As a respiratory therapist, you will assist physicians in the diagnosis and management of heart/lung deficiencies and abnormalities, as
well as utilize sophisticated equipment to measure lung function and monitor heart functions. You might treat newborns, trauma victims,
drowning victims, and patients suffering from asthma, bronchitis, coronary heart disease, emphysema and pneumonia.
In addition to the realistic laboratory environment Concorde provides, we also offer a hands-on working experience in various hospital
settings through clinical rotations.
Graduates of this program will be eligible to sit for the Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT) examination
administered by the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC).
Our Advanced Respiratory Therapy program is designed for those of you who have passed the NBRC entry level exam. This program opens more doors within your profession. Some hospitals require the advanced credentials in order to work with neonates or in intensive care settings. By increasing knowledge in the field, you increase your chances of acquiring the better jobs.
As a Physical Therapist Assistant you deal with one of the most important aspects of the human body—movement.
