Massachusetts - Medical Assisting

American Association of Medical Assistants

In Massachusetts, a primary care provider (PCP) can allow a certified medical assistant to give immunizations if they meet two conditions. First, the medical assistant must have graduated from an accredited medical assisting education program, such as one approved by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) or the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). Second, the medical assistant must be working in the clinical practice of a licensed primary care provider.

What's the Difference?

Academic programs count as academic credit for a certificate, diploma or degree and may transfer toward future academic endeavors at four-year colleges and universities.
Training programs can be completed in a matter of weeks or months, are focused on career training, and provide credentials and certificates needed in the specific fields of study. Coursework does not transfer.
