Certified Medication Aid Course

 At Nurse Mom and Family, LLC, we are committed to continuously improving the quality of our training programs to better prepare healthcare professionals for today’s workforce.

Please be advised that our Certified Medication course has undergone several updates due to changes in state regulations. This course will reflect an increased level of academic rigor, clinical practice, and assessment standards. This course is designed to strengthen student readiness, align with industry expectations, and support successful certification and employment outcomes.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we raise the bar for excellence in healthcare education.

The Medication Aide Technician course is a comprehensive training program designed to prepare students for safe and effective medication administration in healthcare settings. The improved Medication Aide course consists of four integrated components: 

• a structured course manual content session that covers foundational healthcare knowledge, medication administration principles, and proper documentation practices
• a lab simulation session focused on hands-on skill development, guided review, tutoring support, and a pre-clinical readiness examination;
• a supervised clinical rotation session that allows students to apply learned skills in a partnering facility using a standardized medication skills checklist; 
• and a state certification exam session in which students complete the required online proctored examination. Upon successful completion of all components and achieving a passing score on the state exam, students will receive certification.

• National Certification: This course will not serve as a prerequisite for national exams for medication aide certification.
• Once completed, students will be eligible to complete the medication skills checklist with an instructor at an assisted living, skilled nursing home, or penal institution in the state of Georgia.
• Students who successfully obtain CMA certification can apply for work in an assisted living, skilled nursing home, or penal institution in the State of Georgia. A CMA is unable to administer medications in any other clinical setting. Although hourly wages are not a guarantee, entry-level pay for a CMA in the Metro Atlanta area is between $14- $2 per hour.
