ASHLAND, Ky. – The Medical Assisting program at Ashland Community and Technical College (ACTC) is currently accepting applications for the fall 2025 cohort.

The program provides students with the opportunity to become a multi-skilled professional and essential member of the health care team as a medical assistant by earning their certificate in only 10 months.
