In April 2022, 44% of medical practices noted that medical assistants (MA’s) were the most difficult position for them to recruit in a poll completed by the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA). Industry leaders are citing several factors for these difficulties, including stressors from the pandemic and candidates lacking don’t have the requisite training. Since 2013 NHA and Career Technical Education Instructors have been educating and certifying Medical Administrative (CMAA) and Clinical Medical Assistants (CCMA) through robust programs. In this session, we will review updates to the new exams, talk through best practices, review innovative tools and tips from the most successful programs.
