Give your career a 'shot in the arm'

Lets face it--no one likes getting shots, but everyone needs them. That is why becoming a Medical Assistant is a great idea! TCC's Medical Assistant Program gives students hands-on training and prepares them to enter the workforce. And, TCC is one-third of the cost of other local medical assistant schools.

After completing TCC's program, graduates are eligible to apply for and take the national certification exam administered by the American Association of Medical Assistants through the National Board of Medical Examiners. (This is important because most, if not all, employers will want a medical assistant with a Certified Medical Assistant credential.)

Medical Assistants may choose to work in clinics, hospitals, health agencies, etc. In addition to giving shots, they may perform other clinical duties such as taking vital signs, drawing blood and collecting specimens. They also perform office duties such as scheduling appointments.

TCC's program accepts a new class each August--so now is a great time to contact the division office to get information. Call 918-595-7321 or visit tulsacc.edu.

Engineering isn't a career just for guys, regardless of the fact that men outnumber women in this booming, lucrative industry. I love this article from TulsaTech that talks about young women who are studying engineering and planning to enter the field. Very inspiring!

And if you choose to study engineering at TulsaTech, remember that TCC offers numerous engineering associate degree opportunities. And, many (if not all) of your TulsaTech classes qualify for college credit at TCC. For information about TCC's engineering programs, click here.
