About
The Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) program is a 6 month (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. 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.
