Medical Assisting Professional Program
The Medical Assisting Program is designed to prepare you as a health career professional, assisting physicians/providers in various medical and business settings. It is recommended that you take a course or are proficient in Microsoft Office Word, Excel, and Outlook. Transfer credits are accepted from qualifying educational institutions: however, MAP 1010, MAP 2038, MAP 2040, and MAP 1083 must be completed within the Red Rocks Community College system. Sequencing of MAP classes outside of the set cohort schedule must have approval from the Program Director.
Proof of Hepatitis B immunizations will be required before taking MAP 2038. Students will need to have a watch, a personal Blood pressure cuff/stethoscope, and scrubs for the program.
All program students must complete and pass a criminal background check and health/drug screen at their expense, at least 60 days before enrolling in an internship by using the current approved RRCC background check and drug screen program. Students must also provide proof of all required immunizations, submit a physician’s approval/health form, and complete all required courses with a grade of C or better including passing all psychomotor, cognitive, and affective competencies prior to internship.
At the completion of the program, students are eligible to sit for the national certification exam through the AAMA (American Association of Medical Assistants) to become a Certified Medical Assistant.
