- CAAHEP accredited
- CAAHEP has checked and approved the medical assisting program itself. People who finish it can take the CMA exam to become a Certified Medical Assistant.
- ABHES-accredited school
- ABHES approves the whole school. Before you count on the CMA exam, ask the school whether its medical assisting program is covered too.
- Price
- Tuition and fees for 2023-24, as each school reports them: for the whole program, or for one year of full-time classes. Each row says which.
- Graduates
- Students who finished between July 2023 and June 2024. Prices and graduates come from a yearly survey by the U.S. Department of Education.
- Listing
- No school pays to be listed or moved up. "Request information" appears on schools accredited by CAAHEP or ABHES; other schools link to their own site.
