Professional Licensure, Registration, or Certification

Graduates of both the AAS degree in Medical Assisting program and the Medical Assisting diploma program are eligible to sit for the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA) certification exam to become a Certified Medical Assistant. All graduates of the Associate Degree program will also earn the Medical Assisting diploma, and thus graduate from a CAAHEP-accredited program.   Completion of the program requirements does not guarantee passage of the AAMA certification exam.  Requirements for taking and passing certification exams are subject to change without notice to the University.  The most current information regarding the AAMA Certified Medical Assistant exam can be found at http://www.aama-ntl.org
