The Hancock Health CCMA program was created to meet the growing need for medical assistants in the community and in our organization. The goal is for graduates to be professional, competent medical assistants who work to assist physicians and nurse practitioners in a variety of settings. The program trains students in both administrative and clinical duties.
We test each applicant on basic computer skills, essay writing skills, and interview them. We make sure they know that they will be handling bodily fluids and needles and will be practicing vitals, phlebotomy, suture removal, and ECG lead placements on fellow classmates. We require the applicants to do job shadowing prior to the start of the program so they can observe typical daily tasks a medical assistant performs.
Our preference is for all application materials to be turned in at least two weeks prior to the start of classes.
We pay the full tuition for students who are current full time Hancock Health associates. Students who are external applicants are referred to WorkOne Indiana to be screened for possible tuition assistance. .
