An Inside Look at Medical Assistant Classes
We recently asked our incredible Medical Assistant dean, Dr. Sharmalan “Sam” Sathiyaseelan, to show us some of the skills that an MA uses in their day-to-day career. Dr. Sam took a break from teaching medical assistant classes to teach us all about how to use an EKG machine.
Dr. Sam walked us through some of the most important steps to performing an EKG, including successfully attaching nodes and remembering the order in which part of the machine connects to which part of the body. You can see more of the great work that happens in our Medical Assistant classes on our Instagram as well.
Thank you again for your help Dr. Sam! Thinking about a career as a medical assistant? Explore our Medical Assistant program and take the first step. We can’t wait to see you in class!
