The Chicago Lighthouse Launches CMAA Training Program

​Megan Goldish serves as a judge in the Domestic Violence Court of the Circuit Court of Cook County. Leveraging over 20 years of legal experience, including nine years as a Judge, she presides over a high-volume domestic violence court call and oversees criminal, civil, felony, and misdemeanor cases. Alongside her judicial responsibilities, Judge Megan Goldish actively contributes to the community, holding positions such as co-president of the Junior Board of the Chicago Lighthouse for the Blind.

The Chicago Lighthouse has partnered with Moraine Valley Community College to launch the Certified Medical Administrative Assistants (CMAA) training program, which focuses on promoting CMAA skill acquisition to facilitate job procurement among unemployed and underemployed populations in Illinois. The program, which enables remote access to CMAA training resources in preparation for the CMAA national certification exam, is free and encourages self-paced study.

Enrollees access core CMAA educational resources such as customer service training, medical insurance coding, business and office management, patient record-keeping, and typing through the remote educational program. They also learn and complete drills at their own pace and convenience.

The National Healthcareer Association offers the CMAA certification exam, which validates competency for filling a medical administrative assistant role in any healthcare facility in the US. A medical administrative assistant is a professional who provides clerical and administrative support in a healthcare setting.
