To put that statistic into perspective, this career will grow three times faster than to average career over the next seven years.

As of March 25th, 2011 there are 595 CAAHEP accredited medical assistant programs in the United States. Additionally, there are a number of other medical assistant schools that offer programs accredited by the ABHES. If your goal is to become a certified medical assistant, pay close attention to the school that you choose to enroll at as you must complete a a program that is accredited by one of these governing bodies.
