I want to make a choice but don’t know which training program to choose.
Phlebotomy is taking blood.Ekg is putting the elctrodes on people to check their heart.
Medical Assistant has that training too, but it’s not as deep. The Medical Assitant training is more office oriented.( and longer school).
The medical world will always need these professions, I am just having a hard time deciding.
Here in NJ, we have a combination program for both EKG technitians and Phlebotomists.
micha, you have to go 4 yrs in NJ to be an RN.
They have 1yr and 18 month programs for LPN. I do not want to be a nurse. I don’t think I am smart enough, I have looked at the materials.

I am considering a career change and see this profession as a quick way to enter the medical field – 8 months of training, and start making some money. My eventual goal, if I pursue this path, is to work in the radiology field.

There are alot of schools here in Michigan where I live that offer Medical Assistant certificate programs for alot of money.. The community colleges offer the programs for a much cheaper price than the technical trade schools that want $8000- 10,000. Although the community colleges here offer the certificate programs for a much lower price, they don’t provide job assistance for the programs or internships for for their programs like the more expensive schools do. I feel that it is more easily for a person to get a job right after school if their school is assistanting them with employment.. The more expensive schools do provide internship sites, but it is not guarantee that you will be hired . What should I do?
