CCMAs are trained to perform so many different tasks and they are in great demand in the workforce. Per the National Healthcareer Association (NHA), having a nationally accredited certification, like the CCMA, can help you stand out. This certification may also be required or preferred for certain job opportunities in the profession.
Whether you want to work in a doctor’s office or a large hospital system, becoming a CCMA with the NHA shows that you are knowledgeable and ready to be a valued member of a healthcare team.
Once you are a CCMA, you can choose to “stack credentials” with multiple certifications in specialties such as phlebotomy and EKG administration, in that way adding even more value as a member of the healthcare team. Professionals who earn credentials in multiple areas of expertise can achieve higher levels of accountability and proficiency and are in high demand among employers.
