URO^MA Supervisors and Administrators information page 

The Uro^MA (“Yur-O-M-A”) training program is an interactive online learning experience broken down into seven learning modules.

The program material covers important topics related to medical assisting in a urology practice. At the end of the course participants will obtain a certificate of completion after passing the final exam in module eight.

The Uro^MA Program is an immersive online training environment that follows a fictitious character, Amanda as she is training to become an Medical Assistant at a fictitious urology practice, the ACME Urology Center, under the supervision of Diedre, her mentor, and physician Dr. Bishop. The course is designed not to be specific to any one practice but to speak to general best practices.

To register a medical assistant into the URO^MA program, simply click here and enter the names and e-mail addresses of the individuals you would like to take the course.  The supervisor will also be registered for the course and will receive a confirmation email and username.

If you have questions, or if you'd like to register multiple people for the program, contact Sommer Thornton at [email protected]
