Medical Assistant Program Goals

(Minimum Expectations)

The goal of the Medical Assistant Program is to prepare competent entry‐level medical assistants in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains. The NTC Medical Assistant Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Programs (CAAHEP), on the recommendation of the Medical Assisting Education Review Board (MAERB). This means that the curriculum is carefully regulated to ensure that it includes essential components and meets standards mandated by this organization. Accreditation allows the graduates of our medical assistant program to complete the national certification examination administered by the American Association of Medical Assistants. When graduates successfully complete this examination, they are known as Certified Medical Assistants and may use the title CMA.
