Why Healthcare?

The healthcare industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the country — and medical assistants are among the most in-demand roles. Whether you're working in retail, food service, an office, or just looking for a change, a medical assistant career offers stability, purpose, and growth.

Job Security

Medical assistant jobs are projected to grow much faster than average. People will always need healthcare — which means you'll always have career opportunities.

Meaningful Work

Every day, you'll help patients feel comfortable and cared for. It's a career where you make a real difference in people's lives.

Competitive Pay

Medical assistants earn a median salary of $42,000 per year, with room to grow as you gain experience and certifications.

Work-Life Balance

Most medical offices operate on regular weekday hours. Say goodbye to late nights, weekends, and unpredictable schedules.

Best Decision I’ve Made for My Healthcare Career Enrolling in this medical assistant program genuinely changed the direction of my life. From day one, the instructors made it clear they were invested in your success — not just getting you through the coursework, but actually preparing you for what it’s like to work in a real clinical setting. The curriculum strikes the right balance between classroom learning and hands-on practice. We covered everything from taking vitals and EKGs to medical terminology, insurance, and patient communication. Nothing felt like filler every unit had a clear purpose and tied back to real-world situations you’ll face on the job. What stood out most was how approachable the staff were. You never felt like just a student ID number. Questions were always welcomed, and if you were struggling, there was real support available not just a generic tutoring email. By the time I finished and started externship, I felt confident and ready. My externship site actually commented on how prepared I was compared to students from other programs. That says a lot. If you’re considering a career in healthcare and want a program that takes both the clinical and administrative sides seriously, this is a great place to start. Highly recommend. Read less

I graduated from DMAS in October of 2025, Mrs. Tiffany was my instructor at the Mckinney location and I truly couldn’t have gotten more lucky to have her. She brought a tremendous amount of light, laughter, and most importantly extensive knowledge to our class every single day. She was always there to support and give us that extra push when we needed it, she’s amazing at guiding you through your fear and discomfort. The school provides an amazing amount of information that doesn’t make you feel overloaded or flustered, and is easy to understand. You learn everything you need in 18 weeks and by exam time, you’re prepared and comfortable to test, my class passed our first go! I am now lead MA under my provider only 5 months post graduation, and have received many compliments on my skills as an CCMA. I truly couldn’t have done it without Mrs.T and DMAS! Read less

DMAS has the BEST instructors! I don’t know what I would have done without my instructors, Miss C and Miss Tammy at the Irving location. They pushed me to be out my comfort zone and taught me everything I needed to know going into the Medical Assistant Field. I was able to complete my externship, passed my CCMA exam and get a job soon after. The program is worth the price and more. If you’re thinking about it, just do it! You won’t regret it and more opportunities await at the end. Read less

I loved my experience at Dallas Medical Assistant School. From the admissions, the willing to work with me on my payment plan, my advisors checking in with me weekly and sometimes daily and helping me strengthen my interviewing skills, for the time and money you can’t find a better experience. My classmates were so supportive and sweet and I wouldn’t trade my instructors for the world. Right after graduation and certification I landed a job at the top hospital in Dallas-ft worth! If you’re on the fence of applying for this school don’t be! Take the leap you won’t regret it. Read less

Great fast-paced program. Instructors are knowledgeable & advisors are helpful in guiding students to get an externship/job, but as a student, you have to put in the work to be successful. They helped find my externship where I ended up getting hired! Read less
