Anyone interested in the RMA program or any of these individual courses are encouraged to attend!
The Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) program is undergoing a significant transformation starting Fall 2024. Previously a year-long intensive program, it will now be divided into individual courses, each leading to a specific certification. Students can choose to pursue one or all of the seven available certifications, culminating in the nationally recognized Registered Medical Assistant credential.
The first four courses include:
1. Phlebotomy
2. Medical Billing and Coding
3. EKG Technician
4. Pharmacy Technician
Each course concludes with an industry-recognized certification. The courses can be taken in any order which gives students flexibility to complete the certifications on their own timeline. Students can also further enhance their qualifications by enrolling in the Certified Medical Administrative Assistant course and clinical hours or a series of other courses and clinical hours that will qualify the participant to further advance their career as a Certified Medical Assistant or a Registered Medical Assistant. Although this program does not qualify for traditional Pell Grant funding there are other opportunities for financial assistance available.
These changes offer greater flexibility and opportunities for students to specialize in their chosen areas while advancing their careers in the medical field.
