Employer Benefits in Providing AAMA-Approved Continuing Education

Medical assistants (MAs) are critical to the operation of many healthcare organizations. The purpose of medical assistants is to provide administrative and clinical support to healthcare professionals, ensuring efficient operations and enhanced patient care delivery. While not all states and organizations require MAs to be certified, there are many benefits to providing additional AAMA continuing education and professional development opportunities.

• Find/retain MAs: Providing these courses to staff is a huge cost savings for MAs and will be seen as a great perk of working for your organization.
• Improve patient care: Board-approved continuing education meets certain quality standards, is up-to-date with the latest advancements and regulations, and helps MAs enhance their skills.
• Reduces lapses in certification: When the required CEUs are easily available with all other training, there are less excuses that employees may have for not completing recertification.
