About the Exam
The credential is awarded to candidates who pass the CMA (AAMA) Certification Exam.
The Certified Medical Assistant (AAMA)®—or CMA (AAMA)®—credential represents a medical assistant who has been credentialed through the Certifying Board (CB) of the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA).
The credential is awarded to candidates who pass the CMA (AAMA) Certification Exam
The CB of the AAMA is committed to impartiality, objectivity, and fairness in all aspects of its CMA (AAMA) Certification Program. This commitment is reflected in all policies of the CB, and the execution of all policies.
To be eligible for the exam, an applicant must be a graduate of a medical assisting program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) or the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES).
The exam is offered year-round at test centers nationwide.
Recertification of the CMA (AAMA) credential
Every 60 months, the CMA (AAMA) is required to keep the credential current by recertifying. The credential must be current for a medical assistant to use it in connection with employment. Certification status is a matter of public record and may be released, and also may be verified on the AAMA website
A CMA (AAMA) holder can recertify one of two ways: by earning 60 recertification points through continuing education or by retaking and passing the CMA (AAMA) Certification/Recertification Exam.
