Whatcom Community College

The Whatcom Community College (WCC) Medical Assisting program has received continuing accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP). The CAAHEP decision was based upon the recommendation of the Medical Assisting Education Review Board. WCC's review found no areas of non-compliance and the program was commended for multiple strengths which included: having exemplary administrators, faculty and staff who support students at multiple levels; recognition that the program is responsive to student needs and provides updated equipment and supplies; and that the college provides student resources such as quiet study areas, tutoring and testing support. Dean of Healthcare Professions and STEM Elizabeth Johnson said, “It always is validating to have an external accrediting body confirm what we here at Whatcom already know. That our exceptionally talented and dedicated faculty are the cornerstone of our institution. Our medical assisting faculty are 100% dedicated to their students, no matter circumstance. To have the program commended for faculty excellence at such an elite level truly is an honor and one that is well deserved.”
