Answer 1

A good school will have you take a placement test to see if you need any help with the basics before they have you take the actual classes. Some colleges can do a 9 month program and some make it a 2 year course study. I did the 9 month program which is extremely intensive. You also practice drawing blood and doing shots on each other in class, so if you have a needle phobia, this may not be for you.

Answer 2

To be a medical assistant you have to be able to :

1) memorize lots of words about the body & know how to spell them

2) get along with people

3) obey lots of rules

4) be able to write neatly

5) learn to take blood pressures & temperatures

6) type & use a computer to write notes to the doctor on it

It looks like for you it might be a 7. You could do it, but you'd have to work pretty hard on the homework, I'd guess.

Good luck!
