American Medical Careers Announces Move to Larger Campus in Lansing

New Medical Assistant Program to Begin September 4, 2007


LANSING, MI--(Marketwire - July 30, 2007) - American Medical Careers, which provides skilled training for entry-level positions in the medical field, has moving its Lansing campus to a much larger facility located at 930A W. Holmes, adjacent to S. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Currently celebrating its five-year anniversary, American Medical Careers has rapidly expanded its program offerings. Among its patient care specialist programs, students can earn certifications as nurse's aides (CNA), phlebotomy technicians (CPT), EKG technicians (CET), patient care technicians (CPCT), pharmacy technicians (CPhT), clinical medical assistants (CCMA), medical administrative assistants (CMAA), and home health aide (CHHA).

"Our new location gives us ample classroom space to better serve our students and instructors," said Karl Kaufman, president of American Medical Careers. "It is modular enough so that we can expand in stages as we introduce new programs."

American Medical Careers was recently approved as one of three career schools in Michigan to offer an LPN certificate program. This program will be launched at the Flint campus in September.

The medical assistant and pharmacy technician training programs are among the latest to be offered in Lansing. Both are accelerated programs with classroom instruction, lab skills training and on-the-job externships that allow students to enter the workforce faster. Graduates are then eligible for national certification.

"In addition to providing our students the technical skills they need, we work with them to develop behaviors that demonstrate a high degree of professionalism and customer service," added Kaufman. "We offer a supportive environment that encourages learning."
