Description
Clinical Medical Assistant Certification Program
Offered by TerraMD College of Allied Health Sciences
Start your healthcare career as a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant through one of the only programs in the U.S. offering dual eligibility for both AMCA and NHA certification exams. These exams are optional — you will already be certified by us — but many employers prefer or require national certification, and we prepare you to succeed in either or both.
Program Overview
This 100% online program is delivered by TerraMD College of Allied Health Sciences, with instruction provided by the clinical team from our own TerraMD Clinic. Students benefit from:
• Expert-designed content
• Weekly live Q&A and virtual office hours
• Real-world knowledge from practicing medical professionals
Upon completion, you will receive an official certificate from TerraMD College, and you’ll also be eligible to take:
•The AMCA CMAC exam (Certified Medical Administrative Assistant – Clinical)
•The NHA CCMA exam (Certified Clinical Medical Assistant)
Important: Taking one or both exams is optional, but strongly recommended — especially if you plan to apply to hospitals or larger medical systems that require national certification. You can choose to sit for either, both, or none, depending on your career goals.
Exam fees (around $130–$150 per exam) are paid directly to the certifying bodies — not us. You may schedule the exams at your own pace after graduation.
