A medical assistant is considered to be the most versatile health care professional because you will be trained in administrative(front office) and clinical (back office) skills. A drug screen and background check will be completed on students in this program and any felonies may interfere with your ability to sit for the CMA exam.

The Ogden-Weber Applied Technology College Medical Assisting Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (www.caahep.org) upon the recommendation of the Curriculum Review Board of the American Association of Medical Assistants Endowment (AAMAE).

The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs can be contacted at 1361 Park Street Clearwater, FL 33756 (727)210-2350. Graduates of the OWATC Medical Assistant Program are eligible to sit for the Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) examination administered by the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA).

Meet Your Instructor

Hello, I’m Emma Anderson CMA and this is a picture of me with one of my students. I have 18 years of industry experience, and I really love teaching here. The thing I enjoy most is watching students advance in the program and gain self esteem as they prove to themselves that they can be successful. I would enjoy the chance to discuss this great program with you.
