General Information

If you’ve always wanted to work in a medical setting, this is your opportunity. CMA training equips you with the foundational skills needed for modern healthcare settings - front-line and back-office of clinical care; often the first healthcare professional to interact with a patient during a visit.

Trainee Requirement Details

Includes up to 160 hours of lecture and hands-on labs. An optional clinical externship of up to 120 hours is recommended. Trainees must be at least 18 years of age. Background check, drug screen and successful completion of First-Aid/CPR course for healthcare workers (included) is required to participate in clinicals.

Qualifying Virginia residents may be eligible for FastForward financial assistance, which could reduce the cost of tuition by two-thirds.
