Holly Hill, NRCMA
CERTIFIED CLINICAL MEDICAL ASSISTANT
Our Spring instructor profile is based on
an interview with Holly Hill, instructor for
the Clinical Medical Assistant (CMA) class.
Hill is a Virginia native, born and raised in
Franklin County, and has worked in Roanoke
as a CMA since 2014. CMAs are healthcare
professionals who support the work of
physicians, nurse practitioners, physician
assistants and others, usually in a clinic
setting. CMAs can be used in a variety of
healthcare settings, from eye doctors to
dentistry, in both administrative and clinical
capacities.
Hill says the demand for CMAs is huge
because they have a diversified skill set.
CMAs are needed absolutely everywhere in the healthcare industry, so students can
rest assured they will have no problem getting a job once they get certified, and often
students are employed even before certification!
According to Hill, a huge benefit of the CMA program at Virginia Western is that it is
completed in just 14 weeks. Students gain certification quickly, by top-notch instructors
with real-world experience, and, because of the vast hands-on experience they receive,
they are fully prepared to go to work and start earning. Another benefit of Virginia
Western’s School of Career and Corporate Training programs is that interested students
can easily expand their knowledge base and gain additional certifications in a variety of
areas such as EKG Technician.
Hill has been with the School of Career and Corporate Training since 2018. She says “I
love teaching individuals that have a passion for helping others. I feel extremely proud
when I see our CMA students experiencing great success at companies like Carilion
Clinic, LewisGale Medical Center, Vistar Eye Center, urgent care clinics, dental offices,
private practices etc.”
There is a huge demand, especially right now, for
medical assistants.
