Medical Programs Receive Accolades - Continuing Educational Success

CPCC earns recommendation for initial accreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing

The CPCC Nursing program received exemplary remarks from the Site Visit Team. ACEN* representatives specifically noted the strong support and resources provided by the college and the nursing program; the beauty of the Belk and Health and Education Buildings; the work ethic, devotion and passion of CPCC's nursing program faculty; the commitment of the program's instructors and students; and the quality of the program's clinical facilities.

"Our faculty have always known that our graduate nurses were high quality; that has been evident in our Graduate and Employer Surveys for years," said Lisa List, chair of CPCC's Nursing program. "But it is great to have that affirmation from an outside agency like the ACEN to show our graduates, current students, employers and the public that our program is top notch. The faculty is committed to continuing the high standards of accreditation and producing great graduate nurses."

CPCC's Medical Assisting program earns high marks

The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) has awarded continuing accreditation to CPCC's Medical Assisting program. In their remarks, the audit team specifically mentioned being impressed with the program's quality, processes, laboratories and equipment, as well as the professionalism of its staff. The accreditation is valid for a ten-year period, the maximum length of time that may be awarded.

The Medical Assisting program is also pleased to announce that for the 13th consecutive year, students who completed the program achieved a 100-percent pass rate on the Certified Medical Assistant Examination, administered by the American Association of Medical Assistants CMA (AAMA). The CMA (AAMA) certification is considered the highest credential for medical assistants and is recognized across the United States.
