Medical Assisting programs: Approximately 145,000 students enrolled nationwide, based on the latest IPEDS estimates. Medical Laboratory Technology programs: 240 NAACLS-accredited programs in the U.S., with total enrollment likely in the low thousands, given typical program sizes. Phlebotomy certificate programs: 52 NAACLS-accredited programs, plus many more offered by state-licensed or regionally accredited institutions.
