Schools offering medical assistant training in the Kansas City area

"Request information" shows up only on schools CAAHEP or ABHES accredits. That button sends your request to the school. We may get paid for it. The remaining rows send you to the official site of each school. No school pays to be listed or ranked higher. Sources: IPEDS 2023-24 (prices and graduates) plus the CAAHEP and ABHES directories.

Guide to the list: accreditation status, prices and graduates
CAAHEP-accredited program
The medical assisting program itself has been checked and approved by CAAHEP. To become a Certified Medical Assistant, graduates can take the CMA exam.
ABHES-accredited school
ABHES gives approval to the entire school. Ask the school if its medical assisting program is covered as well before you rely on the CMA exam.
Not CAAHEP or ABHES
You will not find the school listed for medical assisting by either group, but this does not judge the school. Another agency might still accredit the college itself. A CAAHEP or ABHES program is required for the CMA exam. The RMA, CCMA and NCMA exams allow other paths too, like work experience.
Price
Schools report tuition and fees for 2023-24, including books and supplies if listed: costs cover the whole program or one year of full-time classes (the local student rate at public colleges). Every award the school lists shares the same yearly price.
Graduates
These students finished between July 2023 and June 2024. IPEDS, a yearly survey from the U.S. Department of Education, provides the prices and graduate counts.
