About Lake Michigan College
Lake Michigan College is a public community college in Benton Township, Michigan. Established in 1946 as Benton Harbor Junior College, LMC educates approximately 3,000 students annually from its campuses in Benton Township, Niles, and South Haven, Michigan.
Lake Michigan College offers the following healthcare-related courses:
Dental Assisting
Unlike most programs where everyone graduates at the same time, LMC's Dental Assisting program allows you to work at your own pace. So if you want to finish your classes and start working in a dental office as soon as possible, there is nothing to slow you down. If you need to work or attend to other responsibilities while you are in the program, that's okay, too. Labs are located at both the Benton Harbor and Niles campuses, with varied hours.
Medical Assisting
The Medical Assisting program prepares students for highly skilled, entry-level positions as medical assistants in the health care industry. Students will learn the administrative and clinical skills that are expected of medical assistants. Upon completion of the program, students are eligible to take the Certified Medical Assistant (CMA, AAMA) examination offered by the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA) or the Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) examination offered by the American Medical Technologists (AMT).
