Start free with EHired Open Access Education. Build real-world clinical skills—vital signs, patient intake, infection control, fundamental and EKG overviews—then explore externships, jobs, and, upon completing requirements, the ability to challenge the AMCA Clinical Medical Assistant (CMAC) certification.
Ideal for candidates with prior clinical experience who want a structured path to AMCA certification without repeating basics they already know.
New to healthcare? You're welcome to enroll, but be aware: if you have no prior clinical experience, you must complete a Self-Managed 100-Hour Externship on your own to satisfy the program's practical component and prepare for the certification exam.
⚠️ Externship Disclaimer
EHired does NOT place, arrange, or supervise externships. All externships are self-managed. You are responsible for identifying and securing your own externship site. EHired provides Colorado-specific resources to help you find opportunities, but placement is not guaranteed.
EHired removes tuition barriers so you can explore healthcare training free. Pay only if you choose to register for a third-party certification exam.
Train for real clinical workflows. When ready, you can challenge the AMCA CMAC certification once you complete requirements—our course is not presented merely as test prep.
Use our state resources to identify externship options and entry-level roles while you study, so you can build experience.
Medical Assistant is your entry point into healthcare. From here, you can advance to nursing, PA, or even medical school.
