What is a Clinical Medical Assistant (CMA)?   

A Clinical Medical Assistant is a medical support professional that performs a variety of tasks to assist physicians in providing patient care, while ensuring that clinics and hospitals run smoothly and efficiently.  While CMAs working in smaller practices may be required to perform some administrative tasks, those working in larger medical facilities focus mainly on providing support services directly related to patient care.  Here at the Academy we offer both Clinical and Administrative programs that can be combined.

Are you interested in acting or looking to strengthen your public speaking skills? Join NACE instructor and theatre actor Gregory Athans, in this 6-week workshop where you will have the opportunity to explore and express your creative talents. This course is designed for beginners who are interested in the craft of acting, but also beneficial to participants who have never attempted acting or done plays. The process will be informative, enriching and most importantly: fun.

Together we will embrace and cultivate the creative exploration of theatre where everyone can refine their talent and learn skills and techniques to reach their individual potential. Using the words of the playwright; along with instinct, motivation, emotion and other performance skills, participants will, through their own authenticity, develop a character and gain the confidence to be a great performer.

Each week, you’ll be paired with a partner and assigned a scene from a script. Beginning with cold readings and analysis, the scenes will be rehearsed and workshopped, culminating in a casual performance for your classmates at the following week’s class where the process will then begin again with a new partner and scene.

No prior experience is necessary-just a willingness to explore, take risks, and most importantly have FUN.

NACE is offering a special discount for high school students ages 15 - 17 who are interested in participating! Parents must sign a permission slip in order for students to participate in the class.
