Feds could may for medical assistant schooling

MARION — Responding to a high local demand for medical assistants, Ohio Means Jobs – Marion County is making federal funds available to help qualifying local residents go to Marion Technical College for up to one year to enter this health care field.

“These funds are very limited but can pay for tuition, books, fees, and required supplies,” said Ronald Meade, administrator of Ohio Means Jobs – Marion County. “This is a great way to get a start in the health care field.”

Medical assistants work in doctor’s offices and clinics. They do a range of tasks, from scheduling appointments to taking vital signs to sending prescription information to pharmacies to medical billing and coding. Jobs pay an average of $14.63 locally. The number of jobs in our area is expected to grow more than 20% over the next decade.
