In addition to 96 hours in the classroom and homework study time, our students are eligible to complete an 80-clock-hour externship experience in a local doctor's office or hospital to gain hands-on experience before sitting for the NHA certification exam. The externship serves as a working experience, as well as a reference for future employment. Once the student completes the class and the externship, a certificate of completion will be issued from TXST Continuing Education. Students are also eligible to take exams to become certified as a Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) and EKG Technician (CET) after the course is complete.

Testimonial
“Joining the Clinical Medical Assistant program at Texas State was truly one of the best choices I’ve made for myself. Trying to balance full-time work and school wasn’t always easy, but the support I felt from my instructors and classmates made such a difference. The hands-on training didn’t just teach me clinical skills, it helped me build confidence and reminded me why I’m passionate about healthcare in the first place. The instructors were amazing professors and made sure to prepare us for real world experiences. Throughout the program, I discovered a real interest in emergency and acute care, and now I feel more prepared and excited than ever to continue my journey in the trauma orthopedics specialty.”
