Medical Assistants Recognition Week Celebration

The College of Southern Idaho Medical Assistant Program is gearing up to celebrate Medical Assistants Recognition Week, October 21st-25th, as designated by the American Association of Medical Assistants® (AAMA). Medical assistants across the country will be recognized during this special week and honored.

In celebration of Medical Assistants Recognition Week, the CSI's Medical Assistant Program is holding this fundraiser through the College of Southern Idaho Foundation.

Program Professor, Kara Mahannah, shares that the fundraiser "will help offset additional costs that students have with online training programs, travel to state conferences, and certification exam costs."

Medical assisting is an allied health profession whose practitioners function as members of the health care delivery team and perform administrative and clinical procedures. With their unique versatility, medical assistants are proving to be the allied health professional of choice for this decade and beyond. Medical assisting is one of the nation’s careers growing much faster than average for all occupations, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The AAMA is the only organization devoted exclusively to serving the professional interests and educational needs of all medical assistants. The association provides numerous services that help medical assistants put their careers on a successful and rewarding track and keep them there.

We greatly appreciate any donations that help our students move closer to graduation and become integral members of the healthcare team! Your support makes a meaningful difference in their journey. Thank you for considering contributing to their success!
