Medical assistant schools across the Nashville area

Only schools accredited by CAAHEP or ABHES display "Request information," which passes your request along to them; we may be paid for it. The remaining rows link to the school's own site. No school pays to get listed or ranked higher. Sources: IPEDS 2023-24 (prices and graduates) plus the CAAHEP and ABHES directories.

Reading the list: prices, graduates and accreditation
CAAHEP-accredited program
The medical assisting program itself has been checked and approved by CAAHEP. You can take the CMA exam after finishing it to become a Certified Medical Assistant.
ABHES-accredited school
ABHES gives approval to the entire school. Before you plan on the CMA exam, ask the school if its medical assisting program is covered as well.
Not CAAHEP or ABHES
The school is not listed by either group for medical assisting; that is no verdict on the school. Another agency might still accredit the college itself. A CAAHEP or ABHES program is required for the CMA exam; other routes like work experience also work for the RMA, CCMA and NCMA exams.
Price
As each school reports it, the price is tuition and fees for 2023-24, plus books and supplies if listed, for either the whole program or one year of full-time classes (local student rate at public colleges). A yearly price applies equally to every award the school lists.
Graduates
These are students who completed their studies between July 2023 and June 2024. IPEDS, an annual survey from the U.S. Department of Education, provides the price and graduate data.
