URGENT CARE CENTERS: GROWING, UTILIZING MEDICAL ASSISTANTS

admin2024-01-03T01:24:06+00:00

According to the Employee Benefits News website, there are “9,300 walk-in, stand-alone urgent care centers” in the U.S., with a typical visit costing a fifth of what an ER visit can cost. It’s no wonder that urgent care centers are growing. There’s not quite one on every corner yet, but sometimes, it sure feels that way! And that’s great news for medical assistants and those who want to become medical assistants. Urgent care centers are ideal work settings for medical assistants. The skills that medical assistants learn, starting with patient intake and assessment, are well-suited to the needs of urgent care center. [...]

HELPING STUDENTS UNLOCK LINUX

admin2019-06-27T14:18:14+00:00

One of my favorite things about teaching students about computers is introducing them to the world of Linux. It’s an operating system that is in computers all over the world, as well as phones, appliances, and even cars. It’s incredibly flexible, and because it’s open-source, many people customize their own versions of Linux and then share them with one another. I like to point students to distrowatch.com, the website that hosts these open-source version of Linux. Names like Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Zorin might seem foreign at first, but as students get more and more familiar with the world of Linux, [...]

THE MEDICAL ASSISTANT: THE DOCTOR’S RIGHT HAND

admin2023-10-11T00:06:39+00:00

Be it a hospital, an urgent care center, or an assisted living facility, the work that medical assistants are doing is expanding. The trend we’re seeing at Cybertex, from the perspective of instructors who work in hospitals and other medical settings, is that medical assistants now play a significant role in diagnostic work. The doctor is ultimately the person who decides the course of treatment for a patient based on the information given in labs, EKGs, and other tests. But more and more, the medical assistant is becoming the doctor’s right hand. That’s why, in our training at Cybertex, we go beyond [...]

CERTIFICATION: TRAIN FOR THE JOB YOU WANT

admin2023-12-13T22:13:03+00:00

The changing economy and the need for certain types of education to qualify for certain jobs are sending a number of people, who already went to college once, back to school. For some, though, the thought of returning to college is a daunting process. Students need to fit coursework around a work schedule, figure out how to pay for tuition, and in many cases, coordinate child care with spouses, other family members, or babysitters. All of these factors can make going back to school a challenge. For those who think that going back to school means college, it doesn’t necessarily [...]

CERTIFICATION EXAMS: THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF OUR NETWORK ENGINEER PROGRAM

admin2024-01-03T01:32:52+00:00

When students graduate from the Network Engineer program at Cybertex Institute of Technology in Killeen, they are awarded a certificate of completion. That certificate acknowledges the studying and hard work that a student has invested in his or her future, and reflects well on that student’s ability in a number of IT areas of study. It’s the second most important thing we offer students. What’s more important to our graduates than completing our program? Being able to pass the certification exams that CompTIA and Microsoft issue. That’s what employers look for in their IT professionals, and that’s what our graduates use to [...]

THE OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO YOU WITH MEDICAL ASSISTANT CERTIFICATION

admin2019-06-27T14:19:29+00:00

When you think about medical assistants, you might think about the people in hospitals or doctor’s offices taking vital signs. And that’s certainly one, important role that medical assistants play. In doctor’s offices, for example, the medical assistant is often the first trained professional the patient comes in contact with, and the one he or she spends the most time with. But students who graduate from medical assistant programs and receive certification can take on so many roles! One specialty that allows MAs to branch out is phlebotomy. Drawing blood from patients for lab tests is in itself a special skill, and a [...]

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR DECEMBER KILLEEN GRADS

admin2019-06-27T14:19:41+00:00

Cybertex Institute of Technology is proud to be part of Killeen’s community, where we opened a campus in 2008. We were honored to have a special guest at our most recent graduation ceremony this past Thursday: Killeen mayor Jose Sagarra showed support for what we’re doing at Cybertex, speaking to our graduating class. He drew from the well-known proverb, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” to acknowledge the steps our students have taken in securing their network engineering and medical assistant certification. According to the Killeen Daily Herald, which ran an article on Saturday about the ceremony, [...]

THE CONVENIENCE OF IN-HOUSE TESTING

admin2024-02-01T04:38:53+00:00

One feature that makes the Network Engineer program at Cybertex Institute of Technology so convenient for students are the in-house testing facilities we provide. Rather than have our students drive all over Austin to pass certification tests in the areas we teach, we have testing available right on campus. The procedure’s simple. Once a student completes coursework in an area of study—let’s say, for example, A+—he or she requests to do a certification test in A+ with our testing center via email. The testing center then does the rest, and within two weeks of putting in that request, the student is taking [...]

WHEN YOU WANT THEM TO KNOW YOU HAVE SKILLS

admin2019-06-27T14:20:03+00:00

If you’re looking for a broad-based education, where you learn a little about a lot of different subjects, college is the way to go. But if you know that you want to specialize in one specific area, with the goal of getting a job in that field once you complete your training, certification provides definite advantages over college. If you’re working in the IT industry, for instance, employers will first and foremost want to know that you have the skills necessary to do a job, be it programming in a certain language or securing a network. Knowing theory and having a [...]

DEDICATE JUST 20 HOURS A WEEK (OR MORE, IF YOU WANT) TOWARD YOUR NEW CAREER

admin2019-06-27T14:20:15+00:00

If you enroll in the medical assistant program at Cybertex Institute of Technology, you’re committing to just 20 hours a week, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday. For those who work during the evening—perhaps even the second shift at a hospital in a non-medical role—it’s an ideal fit. But for those students who want to dedicate themselves to their studies, the commitment to Cybertex doesn’t have to stop at 20 hours a week. I run tutorials and open clinicals for 4 to 6 hours a day most days I’m teaching. For students who want to advance beyond the [...]
