The TopMedicalAssistantPrograms.org rankings focus on academic excellence and cost, with schools ranked on four measures of cost and quality. The rankings emphasize outcomes with graduation and retention rates carrying half the weight in the methodology. The top schools all have low costs, high six-year retention rates, and strong freshman retention rates.“Taking into account retention and graduation rates shows how well a school supports its students from freshman to senior year,” said Janeen Phillips, editor at TopMedicalAssistantPrograms.org. “With the amount of loans and increase in debt for students, cost is an important factor to this generation of medical assistants. The process of finding the right program can be overwhelming, but our rankings and reviews are a great place to start.”
