“ Without a doubt I would recommend the Medical Assisting course. The curriculum is interesting and comprehensive, and
the knowledge and skillset gained on completion is impressive for any employee and a beneficial addition to your entire practice.  

I have completed both Medical Assisting and Practice Management courses with UNE Partnerships and
