There are various fundraisers, community service activities, and workshops that allow the students to enhance their professional development. It is strongly recommended that you take advantage of the student membership offered by the American Association of Medical Assistants. The annual dues for students are $ This entitles you to membership in the AAMA and you will receive the official publication, CMA Today.
