CLC Gains Ntl Accreditation

The Central Lakes College Medical Assistant program at the Staples campus has earned accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs.

The CLC program is also accredited through the American Medical Technologists. The latest endorsement comes from the largest programmatic accreditor in the health sciences field.

National accreditation is considered the “gold standard” for medical assisting, said Dawn Michel, instructor-director of CLC’s 44-credit diploma program.
