There is the medical interpreting course that is fully done online and once you pass the course, you have to do a certification exam. Requires you to already have high mastery of a foreign language.

There is also an online Medical Assistant course that lets you get work in states that don't require an associates degree.
This website mentions some online certificate programs

This headline reminds me of commercials in the 80's where there was a correspondence program that you paid for monthly for your new and exciting career.
What kind of program are you looking for?

Do you mean a medical assistant? Are you looking for a course to pass this exam?

Hey there! If you're thinking about a medical assistant certificate, it's a solid option if you want to get into the healthcare field fairly quickly. These programs usually take around 9 months to a year to complete, depending on whether you're going full-time or part-time. They cover things like basic patient care, medical office procedures, and sometimes even some phlebotomy or EKG training.
A lot of community colleges and vocational schools offer these certificates, and they can open doors to entry-level jobs in clinics, hospitals, or doctor's offices. Plus, once you have some experience, you can always build on it if you decide to move into nursing or another healthcare role later on.
If you're just exploring, it might be worth checking out a few different programs to see what they offer and what the job placement rates are like. It's also a good idea to see if the program is accredited, which can help if you decide to get certified as a medical assistant down the road.

An option is to work as a noncertified medical assistant for one year and then take the certification exam.
