CASAT
In 2022, the AAMA entered a new grant with CASAT, which is broader than then 2015 grant where Medical Assistants educated patients on the dangers of alcohol exposed pregnancies. The new grant will open the education to the dangers of exposure to cannabis, opioids, stimulants and more while pregnant. The CDC was impressed with the number of medical assistants that took the classes and/or training on fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.
National Association of Health Unit Coordinators
In 2019, the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA), through its Continuing Education Board and the National Association of Health Unit Coordinators Inc. (NAHUC) have a reciprocity agreement where each party annually reviews, the topics and descriptions of the sessions to be presented at the NAHUC annual conference and at the AAMA annual conference. Sessions from both conferences meet all AAMA standards for an approvable continuing education program will be assigned AAMA CEUs and all NAHUC standards for a continuing education program will be assigned NAHUC contact hours.
Medical Assistant Partnership for Healthy Pregnancies and Families
As part of a coordinated national effort to prevent fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs), the AAMA and the Medical Assistant Partnership for Helathy Pregnancies and Families (MAP) (previously known as the Medical Assistant FASD Practice Improvement Collaborative), located at the Center for Application of Substance Abuse Technologies (CASAT) at the University of NEvada, Reno, have initiated a collaborative effort to prepare medical assistants to reduce alcohol-exposed pregnancies and intervene with patients who engage in risk or hazardous alcohol use. This partnership is supported by grant funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable
The National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable (NCCRT) acts as a catalyst to stimulate work on key issues related to colorectal cancer. The work of the NCCRT is guided by its strategic plan with direction and input from an active Steering Committee. Both the American Cancer Society and the CDC are permanent members of the Steering Committee, which oversees all committees and task groups. Through the efforts of several task groups, the NCCRT advances initiatives that focus on provider education, public education, health policy, quality, and disparities issues. A fundamental premise of the NCCRT is that collective action among the member organizations will be more successful in reducing the burden of disease and reducing that burden faster than if we worked alone. A core principle of the NCCRT is that it will not duplicate or take on roles of member organizations but rather fulfill those roles that would otherwise go undone.
