Medical assistant, dental assistant, and medical laboratory technician programs.
An experienced medical assistant that has worked in all possible areas of the medical office may qualify as a medical assisting instructor. The medical assistant instructor provides knowledge and skills to medical assistant students in a systematic manner by presenting job essential information, practicing skills learned, managing group discussions, and overseeing required activities in all classes.
Postsecondary vocational education teachers, also known as postsecondary career and technical education instructors, provide instruction for occupations that require specialized training but not usually a 4-year degree. They may teach classes in welding, dental hygienics, x-ray technician techniques, auto mechanics, or cosmetology, for example. Classes often are taught in an industrial or laboratory setting where students are provided hands-on experience. For example, welding instructors show students various welding techniques and essential safety practices, watch them use tools and equipment, and have them repeat procedures until they meet the specific standards required by the trade.
Increasingly, career and technical education teachers are integrating academic and vocational curriculums so that students obtain a variety of skills that can be applied on the job. In addition, voc-tech instructors also often play a key role in students’ transition from school to work by helping to establish internship programs for students and by facilitating contact between students and prospective employers. (U.S. Department of Labor Statistics)
Most vocational training institutions prefer their medical assisting program instructors to hold medical assistant certification and several years of hands-on experience in all areas of the profession. They also should communicate and relate well with students, enjoy working with them, and be able to motivate them. Additionally, should have inquiring and analytical minds, and a strong desire to pursue and disseminate knowledge, and must be self-motivated and able to work in an environment in which they receive little direct supervision.
Job opportunities are expected to be very good, but many new openings will be for part-time or non-tenure-track positions. Prospects will be better and earnings higher in rapidly growing fields that offer many nonacademic career options.
