Job Training: Learning Theory vs. PracticeMany in the
field strongly agree with James Copper, a writer for
http://www.electriciancareerchange.co.uk/blog where
you can find information on electrical training. James
put it very well:
Any course
in electrical is bound to contain a good amount of theory
and at least some practical sessions. But, the strength of
any course in electrical that wants to generate employable
candidates has to be on the practical sessions.

The exact same principle
applies to medical assistant training. You can easily replace
the word "electrical" with "medical" and presto! Bottom line
is: there just are no shortcuts to quality vocational
training! Just because a program offers education for a
fee doesn't always automatically mean it is the best program to
learn a vocational skill, or trade. The idea behind learning
a trade is to learn the skills involved in theory and then
practicing what has been taught under the watchful eye of a
qualified instructor.

Re: Phlebotomy in MA
school??
Phlebotomy is one of our classes in the MA
program I am currently in. We are a very "hands
on" school as we have been practicing on
eachother since our 3rd week in school. Once we
graduate, we will have the confidence and skill
to do it on our own. Not all schools do this,
but for me personally, this is one of several
reasons why I chose this school. This way, when
you are ready to go out there, you have the
confidence and skills to do this. Phlebotomy
takes practice... the more you do it, the
better you get at it, just with almost
everything in life. More in our Medical
Assistant Forum |
9 Warning Signs:
-
Web page advertisements that contain bold text,
images, seals and profound sounding designations
-
Announcements that the school is accredited and
contains words such as approved, accredited,
authorized, qualified, licensed, sponsored,
recognized, and registered
-
Features a highly visible Order Now button, often
with an "act now", or "satisfaction guaranteed"
decal
-
Sells degrees at "discounted price"
-
Exists only in "cyber space" in form or a web site
and correspondence must be sent by email only
-
Is run by only one, or just a handful of people
-
Sells diplomas or degrees based on life experience,
not academic merits
-
P.O. box, or Mailboxes etc. address
-
An off-shore company (common: BVI -British Virgin
Islands)
If you sign up for an online course
that is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands as
an international business company, and you are in the
USA, you will have to go through great lenghts to reach
them, if ever.
