Recertification by CEU - Why?

Maintaining Professional Status

Most certified professionals are required by industry standards to keep their certification current through annual continuing education. Certified and registered medical assistants should participate in continuing education programs to maintain their credential, rather than letting their certification status lapse, and then, having to take the certification exam all over again to recertify.

Do Medical Assistants Really Need CEUs?

To receive proper credit to maintain their certification status certified medical assistants must document that they have taken approved continuing education courses that apply to the scope of practice of their discipline while their certification status is active.

Various national or private professional associations that function as certifying bodies determine their own continuing education and recertification requirements. They decide which continuing education courses meet their approval based on their own criteria.

Non-certified medical assistants also benefit greatly from participating in continuing education programs! Subject related continuing education courses are an effective means of keeping skills and knowledge current for any professional.

Medical assistants should contact their certifying organization and request details of their association's continuing education course approval process and their CEU documentation requirements! It only takes a few seconds to request complete details.
