About the CCMA Program
The Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) program is a 500-hour hybrid program made up of online coursework, twice-weekly in-person skills labs, and a clinical externship. Our hybrid format allows students to take advantage of the convenience of online courses while still being able to meet face-to-face with their instructor, interact with classmates, and participate in hands-on training labs.
The program is challenging both mentally and physically. It is important to have a good understanding of the demands of the profession. Please read the application packet carefully and assess your ability to perform the essential functions of the job.
Because online education is so flexible, it requires a great deal of personal accountability and self-motivation. The best online programs mirror campus programs in many ways, with a few differences.
