Medical Assistant Certification first issued in 2020

891 of Washington’s 20,392 active medical assistant certification credentials — 4.4% of them — were first issued in 2020.

The 2020 intake, and where it stands now

These 891 people were first credentialled as medical assistant certification during 2020 and are still active today. A first-issue year is the closest thing this register has to a start date: it says when the Department first recognised someone in this role, not how long they have worked in health care.

0 of the 891 active credentials in this group carry a disciplinary flag in the Department’s file — 0.0% — and 2 carry one marked pending.

This site publishes that count and no more: never who. The reason is not discretion, it is accuracy — the published file carries a yes/no flag and nothing else: no reason, no date, no case number. Naming someone on the strength of it would publish a suspicion rather than a fact. Every credential counted here is active. Why the line is drawn there.

Do not let the date pass

891 credentials of this type were first issued in 2020. Washington renews most of them on the holder’s birthday, every year or every two years, and continuing-education hours have to be done before that date — not after. Leave your details and we will tell you when yours is close, and pass your request for continuing-education hours to providers who teach for this credential.

We take no commission and we vouch for no training provider. We have no arrangement with any provider today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. What we do with this.
