Start Date:

October 20 | Hands-On Training | Career-Focused Curriculum

SABER College is proud to announce the launch of its newest degree program: the Associate of Science in Medical Assisting. This innovative program is designed to prepare students for in-demand careers in the healthcare field—with a blend of academic instruction, hands-on training, and real-world experience.

With Florida’s healthcare sector expanding rapidly, medical assistants are playing an increasingly vital role in hospitals, clinics, and physician offices. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for medical assistants is expected to grow 15% through 2033, making this a high-opportunity career path.

Flexible Learning with Real-World Experience

What makes this program stand out? It’s hybrid. Students complete their first semester online, followed by on-campus lab work and a 180-hour externship with a local healthcare provider. This format allows students to balance personal responsibilities while gaining critical hands-on experience.

“The Medical Assisting program offers a direct pathway to a meaningful healthcare career,” said Josefina Bonet, CEO of SABER College. “It’s a well-rounded program that combines convenience, quality, and a deep commitment to patient-centered care.”
