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:
Wendy McCance, JD, MBA Program Director
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities
