Clearwater Medical Assistant School will open this spring, offering an 18-week, hands-on medical assistant program.

CLEARWATER, FL, UNITED STATES, March 31, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A new pathway into the healthcare field is coming to Florida’s Gulf Coast this spring as Clearwater Medical Assistant School prepares to open its campus at 4625 East Bay Dr, Suite 106, Clearwater, FL.

“Hands-on experience is critical for building confidence in healthcare roles,” said Chris Lofton, CEO of Zollege. “Our Clearwater program gives students the time and clinical exposure needed to feel prepared as they enter the workforce.”

The school will offer a comprehensive 18-week medical assistant program designed to provide students with both foundational knowledge and extended hands-on clinical experience. The program blends online coursework with in-person lab sessions and practical training conducted inside a working medical practice.

Students will complete their clinical training through a partnership with Foot & Ankle Specialists of Clearwater, gaining real-world exposure to patient care and specialty practice operations. Training will include patient intake, vital sign collection, clinical assistance, documentation, and workflow management in an outpatient setting.

The extended 18-week format allows students to develop and refine their skills through repetition and real-world application, helping bridge the gap between training and employment.
