The program falls within the health services/allied health field (CIP 51.0801) and is designed to train students in the clinical and administrative responsibilities carried out by medical assistants in physician offices, outpatient clinics, and other health care settings.

NIMAA's program is notable for its nonprofit status within the medical assistant training landscape, which may distinguish it from many for-profit competitors in the Denver area.
