To become a medical assistant (MA) or certified medical assistant (CMA), one needs to attend a school that has a one year program or complete a two year associates degree. Both traditional community colleges and trade schools offer medical assistant programs. To find out what the programs entail one would speak to a counselor at any institution offering MA or CMA coursework.
