Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) + Certified Electronic Health Records Specialist (CEHRS) (Vouchers Included)

Medical assistants play a vital role in ambulatory care settings, performing both administrative and clinical tasks under the supervision of healthcare providers. With the healthcare industry rapidly expanding, now is the perfect time to step into this rewarding profession. This online National Healthcareer Association (NHA) course bundle combines clinical medical assistant certification (CCMA) with certified electronic health records specialist certification (CEHRS) to equip you with the essential skills and credentials needed to compete for one of the over 112,000 job openings projected each year through 2034, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The Medical Terminology course component introduces key concepts of medical language and human anatomy, emphasizing the interconnectedness of body systems in health and disease. The curriculum covers topics such as the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, and immune systems, along with mental health and special senses, with exams at the midterm and final stages. Students with prior knowledge can optionally test out of the Medical Terminology content component by achieving a minimum score of 80%, to replace this course content if desired.

During your CCMA training, you will review how medical law, ethics, and HIPAA rules factor into a clinical medical assistant's work—preparing you for roles alongside medical providers performing clinical and administrative duties. Learn to use scheduling systems, facilitate patient check-in and check-out, assess medical records, administer injections, measure vital signs, maintain equipment and supplies, and more.

The electronic health records (EHR) training component will train you in EHR systems and prepare you for EHR certification. You will learn how staff members and patients interact with EHR systems, the benefits these systems provide, and the steps to implementing an electronic health record system.

The course also includes the opportunity to become CPR certified and participate in an unpaid clinical experience. Upon completion, you will be prepared to sit for the CEHRS and CCMA certification exams offered by the NHA upon eligibility. This course includes vouchers which cover the fee for the exams. However, please research your state's requirements by visiting your state's Medical Board site before enrolling to ensure this medical assistant certification course is the right fit for you.

Students can begin researching the steps of the application process two weeks before completing courses.
