Overview

Medical assistants play a vital role in ambulatory care settings, performing both administrative and clinical tasks under the supervision of healthcare providers. With the healthcare industry rapidly expanding, now is the perfect time to step into this rewarding profession. This online National Healthcareer Association (NHA) course bundle combines clinical medical assistant certification (CCMA) with certified electronic health records specialist certification (CEHRS) to equip you with the essential skills and credentials needed to compete for one of the over 112,000 job openings projected each year through 2034, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The Medical Terminology course component introduces key concepts of medical language and human anatomy, emphasizing the interconnectedness of body systems in health and disease. The curriculum covers topics such as the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, and immune systems, along with mental health and special senses, with exams at the midterm and final stages. Students with prior knowledge can optionally test out of the Medical Terminology content component by achieving a minimum score of 80%, to replace this course content if desired.

Funding Disclaimer: For Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funded students, please consult with your funding source representative before taking advantage of the Medical Terminology test-out feature. Different funding programs may have specific requirements and/or restrictions. If you attempt the test-out feature(s) in the Medical Terminology course without getting approval, your funding benefits may be jeopardized.

During your CCMA training, you will review how medical law, ethics, and HIPAA rules factor into a clinical medical assistant's work—preparing you for roles alongside medical providers performing clinical and administrative duties. Learn to use scheduling systems, facilitate patient check-in and check-out, assess medical records, administer injections, measure vital signs, maintain equipment and supplies, and more.

The electronic health records (EHR) training component will train you in EHR systems and prepare you for EHR certification. You will learn how staff members and patients interact with EHR systems, the benefits these systems provide, and the steps to implementing an electronic health record system.

The course also includes the opportunity to become CPR certified and participate in an unpaid clinical experience. Upon completion, you will be prepared to sit for the CEHRS and CCMA certification exams offered by the NHA upon eligibility. This course includes vouchers which cover the fee for the exams. However, please research your state's requirements by visiting your state's Medical Board site before enrolling to ensure this medical assistant certification course is the right fit for you.

Students intending to work in Washington state may be required to provide or request an official transcript from the school they are enrolled with to qualify for employment as a Medical Assistant – Certified. This Certified Clinical Medical Assistant course does not meet state requirements for students intending to work in South Carolina, effective July 15th, 2026. Certification exams offered by NHA are only available online to candidates located in the US.

Clinical Experience: The course also includes an opportunity to participate in a clinical experience. To qualify for the clinical experience application process, students must successfully complete the online course and ensure their account balances are current (at a minimum). It is important to note that ed2go cannot guarantee placement at any clinical site, and students must take full responsibility for fulfilling their clinical requirements. However, our affiliated partnerships can increase the likelihood of finding a site that matches student needs. Students can begin researching the steps of the application process two weeks before completing courses.

Please note that students in Washington state will be required to participate in a 180-hour clinical experience to qualify for employment as a Medical Assistant – Certified.
