NIMAA was founded by Community Health Center, Inc. and Salud Family Health Centers to train Medical Assistants to work effectively in a high-performance primary care setting. NIMAA’s innovative training model combines online learning at an affordable cost with in-clinic experience that starts the first week of the program.
Medical Assistants are often the first point of contact for a patient in our health care system. They perform clinical tests and procedures, educate patients, and are an essential part of the team-based care model.
CHC is a NIMAA externship site, hosting students for their in-clinic experience. At the end of the training, we have a pool of medical assistant candidates who are credentialed and job-ready to work as effective members of the care team.
