TCL’s Hampton Campus to begin offering Medical Assisting this winter
The Technical College of the Lowcountry will begin offering its Medical Assisting certificate program at its Hampton Campus this January.
Why Consider Medical Assisting as a Career?
Medical Assistants are multi-skilled health professionals who perform administrative and clinical duties under the supervision of a physician.
As an in-demand occupation, medical assisting has been steadily growing and is projected to continue to grow as the baby-boom population continues to age.
South Carolina’s annual mean wage for medical assistants is $33,010, according to 2020 reports from the U.S. Labor Statistics and earnings can increase substantially with time and experience.

The program consists of 40-credit-hours over three semesters. The total cost for tuition is $8,000 (or 40 credit hours X $200 per credit). However, tuition and fees can be covered through TCL’s paid tuition program.
