If you are an Ex-convict can you still become a Med Asst?
A felony, some misdemeanors or drug offenses can impact your ability to take some certification exams or get some jobs as a medical assistant. It really depends on what kind of charges you were convicted of and how long ago such charges were brought, as anything beyond seven years can be expunged (i.e. removed) from your record. It is best to be forthright and discuss your conviction during the application process; this will allow admissions representatives to work with you toward achieving your goals.
