Allied Health Program at COCC
Medical Assistant
The Medical Assistant program is a one-year certificate program which can be completed in four quarters (includes summer). The program trains individuals to assist health care providers in their offices or other medical settings in both clinical and administrative procedures. The Medical Assistant program is accredited by the AAMA (American Association of Medical Assistants). Upon successful completion of the program, students receive a certificate of completion from Central Oregon Community College. At that time students are eligible to submit an application and, if accepted, sit for the AAMA CMA Certification examination. Upon passing the AAMA exam medical assistants have earned the CMA (Certified Medical Assistant). Only graduates of accredited medical assistant programs are eligible to sit for the AAMA CMA Certification Examination.
