NOVA Workforce is addressing this need by offering our blended learning certified clinical medical assistant course. After you successfully complete this credential-to-career course, you will sit for the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) examination, which will be given on the last day of class. The exam fee, digital books, and BLS are covered by tuition.

Important: Attendance at the first scheduled class session is required. Students who are absent without prior approval will be administratively dropped from the course.

You will gain hands-on experience performing duties such as taking vital signs, preparing exam rooms, collecting patient data, performing simple dressing changes, running lab tests, phlebotomy, administering medications, and performing EKGs.
This course is 140 hours of work.
