Certified Clinical Medical Assistants (CCMA) are in high demand in the health care field. The demand is expected to increase by 25% by the year 2026.
Medical Assistants, also known as Patient Care Technicians, are vital members of the health care team. They assist doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals in providing direct patient care in a variety of health care settings, such as physician offices, hospitals, and outpatient clinical settings.
CCMAs collect patient history, take, and record vital signs, including blood pressure, temperature, weight, and height. They assist with scheduling procedures according to doctor's orders and provide other basic patient care tasks.
The CCMA Patient Care course is a combination of in-person classroom and laboratory instruction, online learning, and rotation in clinical settings.
Eleven weeks (60 +/- hours) in the classroom/lab.
Two weeks (80 hours) at an affiliate clinic at the end of classroom training, Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Clinical rotation is currently scheduled for November 25, 2024 thru December 6, 20024. THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE!
