Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Concorde Career College-Memphis

Concorde Career College-Memphis delivers below-average outcomes for medical assisting students, with first-year earnings of $22,543 falling significantly short of both national ($27,186) and Tennessee ($24,696) medians. While the program ranks in the 40th percentile within Tennessee—meaning it's middle-of-the-pack among state options—it lands in just the 10th percentile nationally, indicating consistently weak performance compared to similar programs across the country.

The debt situation is more reasonable at $9,500, which matches both national and state medians for this field. With a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.42, graduates can expect to earn back their investment relatively quickly. However, the modest 8% earnings growth over four years suggests limited advancement potential, with graduates reaching only $24,386 by their fourth year—still well below what many programs achieve in the first year.

For Tennessee families, this program represents a mediocre choice in a competitive market. Several in-state alternatives like South College ($28,606) and Ross Medical Education Centers offer significantly better earning potential for similar debt levels. Unless location in Memphis is absolutely critical, parents should strongly consider these higher-performing Tennessee programs that could generate $4,000-6,000 more in annual earnings for the same educational investment.
