NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANT ADVANCEMENT

NIMAA provides vocational education and employment opportunities for the underserved who live and hope to work as medical assistants in the communities our health care employers serve, while improving the capabilities of the staff who deliver that health service. NIMAA seeks TCI funding to develop and implement a unique, holistic Student Services function within our education model. Student Services will provide mentoring and support to enable each student to overcome the barriers to success which often plague the underserved and will develop deep relationships with our collaborating safety net clinic employers who host students throughout the 7-month NIMAA program.
