Business
As a medical assistant, you will need technical skills, medical knowledge and a wealth of compassion. You may teach people how to take medications, care for wounds or modify their diets. You may be the first and last person a patient sees when visiting a clinic or doctor’s office. You may be the person patients ask for when they call the clinic.
Globe University-La Crosse will provide training to prepare you for this challenging and rewarding career.

Programs designed by medical professionals
We developed our medical assisting program with the help of a program advisory committee made up medical assistants, nurses and clinic administrators. These professionals know what is important for students to learn for today’s jobs, not yesterday’s. The committee also reviews the programs regularly so that we continue to offer what students need for success as medical assistants.
