Overview:
Grand Rapids Community College’s Medical Assistant program will prepare you to perform administrative and clinical tasks to keep health practitioner offices and clinics running smoothly. The goal of GRCC’s Medical Assistant Program is to prepare medical assistants who are competent in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains to enter the profession. The course combines classroom lecture, group activity, simulation learning, and a competency-based externship experience.
GRCCs Medical Assistant Program prepares individuals to take a national certification exam. Included in the cost of our program is the registration fee for the Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) exam through American Medical Technologists (AMT). Graduates may choose to take an alternate exam such as CMA(AAMA) or the CCMA(NHA) at their own expense. The RMA(AMT) is a national certification which is accepted in all 50 states and in several countries abroad. In 2019, 100% of program graduates passed the RMA certification exam.
