President's Letter
Fall CEU Opportunities Are Here!
​
I hope everyone has had a great summer! With the kids back in school and our normal routines settling back in, it’s a great time to look ahead to the fall and all the opportunities coming our way.
We have some exciting CEU opportunities coming up for Medical Assistants, including our October Symposium and the April State Conference. These events are a wonderful way to earn CEUs, stay current in the field, and connect with fellow Medical Assistants.
​
We hope you’ll be able to join us!
