When you were younger, maybe you dreamed of becoming a doctor or a nurse—helping patients, wearing scrubs, and making a real difference in people’s lives. That dream doesn’t have to stay in childhood. With Dalrada Career Institute’s 10-week Medical Assistant (MA) program in San Diego, you can take the first step into healthcare quickly and confidently. Whether you choose weekday or evening classes, DCI’s hands-on training and flexible schedules make it possible to turn those early aspirations into a real career.

Why Medical Assisting?

Medical Assistants are the backbone of clinics, hospitals, and private practices. They work alongside doctors and nurses, performing both clinical (taking vitals, assisting with exams, preparing patients) and administrative tasks (scheduling, records management, patient communication). With this broad skill set, MAs are in high demand across San Diego and beyond.
