At which time, if the students have met the requirements set by the school system, Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), and the National Health career Association (NHA), they will be eligible to attempt certification as a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA). The CCMA certification is an industry recognized national certification.
