Searching For Best Medical Assistant School In Atlanta

Published

New to the forum (thanks for your welcomes in advance). I am having trouble finding the best accreditated medical assistant schools here in Atlanta. I have a list of accredidated schools but dont know which one has the best program. Can anyone help a brother out?

Public

Atlanta Technical College

Chattahoochee Technical College

Dekalb Technical College

Gwinnett Technical College

Private

Everest Institute Marietta

Medix School Smyrna

Sanford Brown Institute

Westwood College

Brown Mackie College

Above you'll find all the accredidated schools that I have found. Out of the private ones, which one is the best. It seems with public schools they have waiting list and I am soooo ready to get into school NOW but dont want to make the wrong choice in schools (plus I dont have the gas to drive to all of these schools to hear some scripted reason as to why I should attend their school). So any information so that I can start, finish, and get a job would greatly be helpful.

hi,

i have the same question - specifically, chattahoochee technical college and medix

both seem to have quality programs, but then, i don't know how to evaluate/compare, as i do not know what the "gold standard" is. it would be great to know how the industry views the education each school offers.

please let me know if you hear anything, i will do same-

good luck, gina

Hello, I went to Gwinnett tech for their old LPN program. I also have had several friend go to Gwinnett also. It is a great school. They also have some of the best teachers!!!! Just from my experience, private schools cost more money. I suggest Gwinett tech. Good luck!

Hi Morte,

Hee hee, no problem... I am considering changing careers - from corporate office professional to a trade (health) skill.

While researching options, Medical Assistant was a skill that kept popping up, so I went with that.

That was yesterday... I have since (one hour ago!) spoken with the folks at Chattahoochee Tech about their Nursing program. I have found my new path.

A career in nursing has much more appeal to me than a job as an MA. This would be completely new to me, any advice, suggestions? Thanks.
