Interprofessional Team-Based Care
About Upskilling Courses for Medical Assistants
Intended Audience
These courses are designed for medical assistants (MAs) who are already working in the field. All courses provide contact hours that can count toward CMA (AAMA), CCMA (NHA), and RMA (AMT) recertification requirements if learners successfully meet all course requirements. The course content is, however, relevant for other members of the care team. Supervisors have also completed our courses in order to better understand what concepts their MAs are learning and applying.
Program Structure
All courses are completely asynchronous, which means that learners can complete course modules at their own pace and on their own schedule. Learners can complete courses separately or in a recommended sequence.
Pricing
Courses are priced at $25/contact hour, a price competitive with other MA continuing education courses. The total price per course is determined by the total number of contact hours in the course.
