Free Medical Assistant Training Through SCC-SSM Partnership

Published: 07/07/2021

Beginning fall 2021, St. Charles Community College is partnering with SSM Health to offer free training for people wanting to become a medical assistant.

The medical assistant program consists of two semesters of program coursework including a 202-hour clinical externship, which concludes in a Certificate of Achievement and eligibility to sit for the credentialing exam through American Medical Technologists. Successful completion of the exam results in the Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) credential.

Students accepted into SCC’s Medical Assisting certificate program and hired by SSM Health will gain full-time employment with benefits. Additionally, students will receive:

• Tuition assistance and textbook costs
• Paid externship through SSM employment
• A jumpstart to their career in the medical field

Join us at the virtual program information session from 6-7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 21. Potential students can register via email: alliedhealth@stchas.edu.
