A CMA is a health care professional who focuses on administrative tasks such as managing patient records, insurance claims and appointment scheduling.<\/p>\n<p>Erlanger will fund an initial cohort of 10 seats in the CMA course offered by the CPE, with more seats offered during the spring semester.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPartnering with UTC to provide the opportunity for medical assistants to earn their certification is a natural fit for Erlanger,\u201d said Haley Johnson, director of nursing for Erlanger Medical Group. \u201cWith our 130-year history of teaching and caring for the community, we are proud to extend those hands-on learning opportunities to a new group and, ideally, help them along their professional journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The partnership aims to provide UTC students with valuable hands-on experience and professional training in a clinical setting desired by professional schools. Selected participants will have the opportunity to earn their CMA license, benefit from unique clinical training and mentorship opportunities, and enhance their readiness for medical or PA school applications.<\/p>\n<p>UTC student participants in the new program will commit to one of two work arrangements following the completion of the training and obtaining certification:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Working full-time for one year in an Erlanger-run clinical setting, which is ideal for students planning a gap year before starting professional school.<\/li>\n<li>Working part-time for two years, allowing students to gain experience while continuing their studies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As part of the collaboration, the CPE has also developed a prep program to help non-certified Erlanger employees prepare for the CMA exam.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvesting in our staff and the future of health care not only benefits Erlanger but also the community,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cErlanger, as one of Chattanooga\u2019s regional hospitals, has decided to step up and invest in UTC students by providing them the opportunity to further their education and acquire national certifications at no cost to them,\u201d CPE Workforce Development Specialist William Watson said. \u201cErlanger is investing this money in UTC students so that they can better themselves for life after UTC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn turn, UTC is upskilling the current workforce at Erlanger. When you think about UTC and how we are Chattanooga\u2019s University, this is a great opportunity to underscore our investment and commitment to supporting local employers, local job opportunities and local students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Theresa Blackman is UTC\u2019s assistant director of pre-health student services and an advisor in the College of Arts and Sciences. She said UTC\u2019s pre-health career tracks include medical, dental, physician assistant, physical therapy and occupational therapy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think this opportunity to get the CMA and paid medical experience is going to be something that a lot of students are going to be able to benefit from,\u201d Blackman said. \u201cStudents with this type of experience on their resume are trending higher in their medical school application acceptance rates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2024\/02\/partnership-with-erlanger-providing-job-shadowing-experience-for-76-utc-students\/\"><strong>This is the second partnership with Erlanger benefiting UTC pre-health student services <\/strong><\/a>launched in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>From early February through late April, a collaboration between the pre-health advising program, Erlanger and the UT Health Science Center College of Medicine \u2013 Chattanooga provided an opportunity for 76 UTC students spanning 11 majors to job shadow in the Erlanger Baroness Hospital Emergency Department, obtaining valuable experience watching emergency room doctors and other medical personnel in action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very thankful for this partnership with Erlanger and for everything they are doing to immerse our pre-health students in the medical field,\u201d Blackman said.<\/p>\n<h4>Learn More<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.utc.edu\/enrollment-management-and-student-affairs\/admissions\/visit\">Visit UTC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2024\/02\/partnership-with-erlanger-providing-job-shadowing-experience-for-76-utc-students\/\">Partnership with Erlanger providing job shadowing experience for 76 UTC students<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.utc.edu\/enrollment-management-and-student-affairs\/pre-health-professions-advising\">UTC Pre-Health Professions Advising<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new partnership between the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Erlanger will provide UTC students the opportunity to obtain their Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) license for free and secure employment at Erlanger while also training Erlanger\u2019s non-certified medical assistants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2024\/08\/utc-erlanger-partner-for-certified-medical-assistant-training-program\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":60299,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[83258,70,15,61,3,7712,83654,64,661],"tags":[124526,124528,123827,123826,563,124527,124529,123828,123829,123277,123405,123713,122290],"class_list":{"0":"post-60292","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-academics","8":"category-campus","9":"category-center-for-professional-education","10":"category-college-of-arts-sciences","11":"category-community","12":"category-faculty-and-staff","13":"category-health-and-wellness","14":"category-news","15":"category-students","16":"tag-certified-medical-assistant","17":"tag-cma-training","18":"tag-creating-the-mocs-experience","19":"tag-cultivating-a-culture-of-innovation","20":"tag-erlanger","21":"tag-erlanger-baroness-hospital","22":"tag-haley-johnson","23":"tag-leveraging-our-special-place-as-chattanoogas-university","24":"tag-operating-with-excellence","25":"tag-pre-health","26":"tag-pre-health-professions-advising","27":"tag-theresa-blackman","28":"tag-will-watson","29":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
