NIMAA’s fully accredited, affordable programming offers students hands-on education and prepares graduates to work in high-performing, team-based practices. On Aug. 31, NIMAA announced its approval to operate as a private licensed school in Pennsylvania. 

“NIMAA is delighted to help meet the demand for medical assisting in Pennsylvania, where it is recognized as a ‘job of tomorrow,’ and is expected to grow by 20% over the next 10 years,” says NIMAA Chief Executive Officer Elena Thomas Faulkner. “We are particularly excited to work with our community-based clinical partners to make entry into a career in health care accessible to members of Pennsylvania’s medically underserved communities.”
