First-Time Recertifiers: Include Pre-earned Recertification Points When Recertifying by CE
Are you recertifying for the first time? A policy from the Certifying Board of the AAMA allows you to apply a limited number of recertification points earned prior to your initial certification toward your first time recertifying!
If you are an initial certificant, you may apply a maximum of 20 recertification points (AAMA-approved points or non-AAMA-approved points) earned in the three months prior to initial certification toward recertification.
Other recertification policies, such as 30 of the 60 recertification points being from AAMA CEUs, and at least 10 certification points being from each of the general, administrative, and clinical categories, remain in effect. Course credits earned and required for graduation from a medical assisting program cannot be used toward initial recertification.
Reference the CMA (AAMA) Recertification by Continuing Education Application for the requirements that points must follow to qualify for non-AAMA-approved points.
