Kawaiipanda Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I am considering taking the online MA program via US career inst.. Is this program valid in California since it does not offer an internship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope2PA Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 First, do you realize you are asking about Medical Assistant on a Physician Assistant site? Do you realize the difference between the two? Medical Assistant (MA) is a certification that takes up to one year post high school. Physician Assistant (PA) requires a Master level program requiring about seven years post high school. A PA is a Medical provider with a crappy title who is typically more educated than a Nurse practitioner, but not as much as a physician. Doubtful many PA”s on this site are familiar with MA programs unless they happen to have worked as one prior to going on for bachelors or Masters degree.
