Celebrating 20 Years of Excellence
Are you looking for a health care career rooted in stability, community, and proven success? As we move through 2026, Hunter Business School in Medford is proud to celebrate a massive milestone: 20 years of empowering students at our Medford campus.
While Hunter Business School has been a staple of Long Island education for decades, 2006 marked a new chapter for Suffolk County. It was 20 years ago that instructor Tracey Maletta led the very first Medical Assistant class in Medford. In a testament to the heart of this school, she is still here today, guiding the next generation of health care heroes.
A Legacy of Commitment in Suffolk County
When you choose a vocational school, you want to know the instructors are as invested in your future as you are. Tracey Maletta’s 20-year tenure isn’t just a stat, it’s a promise. It means the curriculum has been refined, the local medical employer connections are deep, and the passion for student success is part of the building’s DNA.
Why the Medical Assistant Program Stands Out
Our CAAHEP-accredited Medical Assistant program is designed to take you from the classroom to a clinical setting in just 7½ months (day program). In a world of changing technology, the core of health care remains the same: compassionate, skilled patient care.
- Hands-on History Train in Medford labs that have been the starting point for thousands of successful Long Island MAs.
- Real-World Externships Gain 190 hours of supervised experience in local medical facilities, building your résumé before you even graduate.
