Randolph Community College Medical Assisting Program Receives Accreditation

The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) has awarded initial accreditation to the Medical Assisting Associate Degree program at Randolph Community College’s Archdale Center.

RCC added the program to its curriculum offerings in fall 2011. The initial accreditation is effective until Sept. 30, 2019, when RCC’s program will go through a reaccreditation process.

“Medical assisting is a fairly new program for us, and we have been pleased with the strong enrollment and the response from the community,” said Dr. Robert Shackleford, RCC president. “This accreditation gives us a stamp of approval that endorses the quality of the program and is a big plus for our students as they enter the workforce.”
