Medical Assistant and Patient Care is a two-year diploma combining medical assistant, health unit clerk, and health care aide curricula to prepare graduates for a range of healthcare support roles. Coursework builds clinical skills, medical office and health information technology competencies, and administrative abilities alongside best-practice patient care principles.

Classes are delivered on a full-time, on-campus basis at the South Winnipeg Campus. Graduates are prepared to support clinical teams, manage administrative and medical technology tasks, and contribute to the smooth operation of healthcare facilities across Manitoba's healthcare system.
