1. Online schools are usually not accredited, you may graduate from their program and you may be unable to get a job. Hands on experience is critical in health careers.
2. Going to a physical school is better. You get handson experience, and also a chance to interact with people, which is important in healthcare. You have to be careful when choosing any school, and make sure that it is accredited. The Medical Assistant Program is growing, and there is a lot of competition out there, so why sell yourself short by going to an online class? Go to a well known school that offers this program, and you will be better off. Good luck in your future endeavors. Researching is always the smart thing to do.
