For the fifth consecutive year, North Georgia Technical College has earned the No. 1 ranking as the Best Medical Assistant Program in Georgia by the online resource Medical Assistant Advice.
This recognition places NGTC at the top of 41 Medical Assisting programs in Georgia, say school officials. Rankings are based on graduation rates, tuition, admission rates, enrollment, retention rates, and Medical Assistant Advice staff ratings.
Lanier Technical College in Barrow, Dawson, Forsyth, and Hall counties ranks second in Georgia.
Rounding out the top five are Ogeechee Technical College in Statesboro, South Georgia Technical College in Americus and Cordele, and Georgia Northwestern Technical College in Rome.
Grads teaching future graduates
NGTC offers Medical Assisting on all three of its campuses in Clarkesville, Blairsville, and Stephens County. The instructors are graduates of the program.
“Being NGTC Medical Assisting graduates themselves, our faculty are committed to ensuring their graduates are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in their careers and make a positive impact in the lives of others,” says NGTC Dean of Academic Affairs Christy Bivins.
NGTC Vice President of Academic Affairs Mindy Glander says the college is thrilled to receive the top state ranking once again. She attributes the program’s success to the college’s “dedicated faculty and hardworking students.”
“Their commitment to excellence and passion for the medical field is truly inspiring. This accomplishment is a testament to the quality of education and training our program provides, and we are proud to be a leader in the healthcare industry,” Glander says.
Medical Assistant Advice has served medical assisting students and professionals since 2012. The website offers current information regarding education and career statistics to help guide students.
