Medical Assistant Training in Abilene, Texas

Abilene Medical Assistant School is a healthcare training center located in Abilene, Texas, that prepares students to work as medical assistants. The program is taught in real medical offices in the city and combines practice with theory, so students train with the equipment and tools used in daily clinical work.

The school presents itself as a collaboration between Zollege and local medical offices, which places learning directly in the environment where the work takes place. The school is part of the Zollege network, founded in 2010 by Dr. Thomas Ince, a dentist, who created a training model that is shorter, more practical, and does not require student loan financing.

The 18-Week Program

The main training is an 18-week course aimed at those who want to start a career as a medical assistant without accumulating student debt.

The deposit is applied toward tuition, and students receive a set of scrubs when classes begin.

The school offers several start dates throughout the year and flexible schedules. The next session announced on the site began on October 10, with classes on Saturdays from 8:00 to 12:30, and the school indicated that seats were limited.
