Both. Coursework must be completed and submitted online; however, skills and reviews are conducted in person.

A CNA (Certified Nurse Aide) gives hands-on bedside care under an RN or LPN—things like vitals, bathing, feeding, toileting, and safe transfers—mainly in nursing homes and hospitals. A Medical Assistant works in clinics and doctor’s offices, supporting providers with both clinical and front-desk tasks such as vitals, rooming patients, phlebotomy, EKGs, injections, simple lab tests, charting, and scheduling. CNAs complete a state-approved program and a skills/written exam for the Nurse Aide Registry, while Medical Assistants complete a program and usually earn a national certification like CCMA or CMA (not a state license). Choose CNA if you want bedside care; choose MA if you prefer outpatient work with a mix of clinical and administrative duties.
