What is NIMAA?

The National Institute for Medical Assistant Advancement (NIMAA) is a nonprofit education institute that trains Medical Assistants to work effectively in today's high-performing primary care settings. NIMAA was created by community health centers to provide access to education and employment opportunities in the communities they serve, while addressing a critical workforce shortage. NIMAA's innovative training model combines extensive in-clinic experience with concurrent flexible online learning at an affordable cost. Students complete our 8-month post-secondary program prepared for meaningful entry-level employment in team-based primary care settings.
