Finlandia Medical Assistant Program Receives Accreditation

The Finlandia University College of Health Sciences has announced that its Medical Assistant (MA) associate degree program has been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs upon the recommendation of the Medical Assisting Education Review Board (MAERB).

The MA associate degree program was accredited for five years, through September 2017. Finlandia's MA program is the only accredited Medical Assistant program in the Upper Peninsula.

"Graduates of Finlandia's Medical Assistant program are awarded an associate degree from an accredited program. This is a huge advantage for Finlandia MA graduates because it means they are eligible to sit for the national exam to gain the credential of Certified Medical Assistant (CMA)," says Pam Audette, director and assistant professor for Finlandia's MA degree program.

"The CMA credential, granted by the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA), is what employers are looking for," Audette notes. "It demonstrates to employers that the medical assistant has mastered entry-level MA concepts and that he or she has graduated from an accredited degree program that is in compliance with national standards."  Read more ...
