Abstract

This paper reflects upon the multitude of skills and connections that an online medical assistant certification program provides in deciphering medical terminology and applying knowledge of anatomy and physiology to other courses and disciplines related to health and wellness. Additionally, I discussed my other various summer experiences that the CMA program supplemented, such as my Pilates instructor certification, shadowing a psychiatrist, and two related courses I am taking in the fall semester. This online medical education program proves an effective tool for students not only preparing to apply for medical or nursing school, but can enrich interdisciplinary experiences in unexpected ways.
