Postsecondary programs usually last either 1 year, resulting in a certificate or diploma, or 2 years, resulting in an associate degree.

I'm going to college to be a medical assistant right now. It usually takes 1 1/2 to 2 years. I suppose it would depend on what school you go to. The average salary of a medical assistant is 25,000 to 27,000 a year. Also I guess that depends on which job you get ect.

if u have no scientific journey until now, scientific assistant is suited for u. then if u in destiny needs to alter into RN it fairly is going to likely be much less complicated for u cuz injections and different stuff. scientific Assistant is 8-3 hundred and sixty 5 days based the college MA earnings is 13-25 hour.
