Ready to become a PA? Preparing for a career as a Physicians Assistance can be a challenging journey.

Recently, MyPABox, a Physician Assistant program requirement tracking organization tool and resource center, recently recommended HealthCareer CERTS, the National Institute of Healthcare Certification. 

In the article,  PA School Tips: Surviving Your Surgery Rotation,  MyPABox suggested PA-bound students turn to HealthCareer CERTS and our certificate programs as a great way to gain the attention of PA school admissions counselors. It’s what they are looking for when they make their admissions decisions, the article said. 

MyPABox recommended HealthCareer CERTS certifications to gain Patient Care Experience (PCE), and specifically the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA certificate) and the Phebotomy Technician Certificate.) 

“Paid Clinical Experience is a crucial component of a strong PA school application,” the article said. “Becoming a nationally certified clinical medical assistant gives you the chance to work in a clinical setting and gain hands-on experience.”

HealthCareer Certs offers flexible and convenient certification program. By dedicating just two to three hours per day, the program can be completed in eight weeks. With a 100% passing rate, you’ll be fully prepared to obtain the required 2,000+ PCE hours. Use the code “myPAbox100” and get $100 off the CCMA course! Enroll now. 

Other reasons to add a certificate program to your PA-bound “must-dos:” 

• The courses will allow you to become nationally certified, with options including medical assistant, patient care tech, phlebotomy or as a pharmacy tech.  There also is an option to bundle the CCMA and Phlebotomy course. 
• The courses are fully online, self-paced and instructor assisted. You’ll have one year to complete, but with just two to three hours per day, the CCMA certificate can be completed in eight weeks and the phlebotomy certificate in four weeks. 
• HealthCareer Certs will pay for your national exam, with our track record graduating 100 percent of students. 

• There are no refresher courses available in medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, so we fill that gap. 
• Tuition payment pans are available.
