Understand this list: accreditation, prices, graduates
- CAAHEP-accredited program
- The medical assisting program itself has been checked and approved by CAAHEP. Finishing it lets you take the CMA exam and become a Certified Medical Assistant.
- ABHES-accredited school
- The whole school gets approval from ABHES. Do not count on the CMA exam until you ask the school if its medical assisting program is covered too.
- Not CAAHEP or ABHES
- The school is not listed by either group for medical assisting, but this is not a verdict on the school. Another agency might still accredit the college. For the CMA exam, you need a CAAHEP or ABHES program. Other routes, such as work experience, also qualify you for the RMA, CCMA and NCMA exams.
- Classes held online
- You do coursework online, but clinical hours always happen in person at a clinic or school.
- Price
- Each school reports figures for 2023-24: tuition, fees, and books plus supplies if listed, covering the whole program or one year of full-time classes (rate for local public college students). Each award the school lists shares the same yearly price.
- Graduates
- These students finished between July 2023 and June 2024. IPEDS, an annual U.S. Department of Education survey, provides the price and graduate data.
