On May 12, graduates were honored at a pinning ceremony for SCC’s Medical Assisting program.
A Medical Assistant is essentially a “jack of all trades” who works in physician’s offices or hospitals. Medical Assistants handle a wide range of responsibilities including scheduling appointments, insurance verification and patient care such as drawing blood and performing patient testing.
The graduates include: Brayden Taylor of Cherokee, Tiffany Hernandez of Cherokee, Reanna Rab of Waynesville, Lesley Santoyo of Whittier, Cindy Dawson of Sylva and Kayla Cochran of Sylva.
