Review and Comment under Policy 3.32 College Faculty Credentialing for Proposed Development and/or Revision of Credential Fields and Minimum Qualifications

On behalf of Kim Lynch:

Please review the proposed revision to the Medical Assistant credential field and associated minimum qualifications:

Medical Assistant

Education requirement: Associate degree and a graduate of an accredited medical assisting program.

Occupational experience requirement: Three full-time years (or equivalent) of verified related paid work experience as a medical assistant.

Recency requirement: One year of this work experience shall be within the five years immediately preceding the date of application for the credential field. The recency requirement shall be waived if the individual has two years of successful full-time (or equivalent) postsecondary teaching experience in the credential field within the last five years.

Professional requirement: Current Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) by the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA) or Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) by the American Medical Technologists (AMT)

I request that you share this correspondence with faculty, administrators, student association leadership and other appropriate staff for review and comment.  All comments and suggestions are welcome from all constituent groups.

Additionally, so that we might review the feedback in a coordinated manner, I request that each chief academic officer submit a single summary response to this review and comment document representing the position of the college administration.  If we do not receive a response providing suggested changes or concerns for consideration, we will assume that the college is in agreement with the development of these credential fields and the associated minimum qualifications.

Please refer questions and submit responses by February 15, 2018 to:
