Medical Assistant (BBL)

With a medical assistant diploma, you can work in a general practitioner's office, health center, hospital outpatient clinic, or occupational health service. You can also pursue a higher professional education (HBO) program in healthcare, such as physiotherapy. 

You'll be employed by an accredited training company. You'll also attend school one day a week.

To be eligible for an internship, you need a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). Almost all training companies require this. We recommend that you ensure you can obtain a VOG before starting your program. This will prevent you from being unable to complete an internship and possibly having to discontinue your program. Read all about the Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) here.
