There are a couple sites listed here and now as medical records are on the move going digital, it could be a pre-requisite someday soon to have be certified to work with digital data.
The certification process is open to all applicants, physicians, medical assistants, etc. There is a test and it can be done completely on line, so again perhaps as things are changing, a certificate in this area may not be too far down the road, unless you are still working in a paper 
documented world, but that’s not going to be an option for too much longer. BD
Two national associations are launching professional certification programs for those involved in electronic health records.
The American Medical Informatics Association is launching a digital patient record certification program that requires taking an exam. The Bethesda, Md.-based association launched the program to provide health care organizations with a way to train entry-level staff and novice clinicians. The organization has developed a study guide to help staff members gain expertise in electronic records in preparation for the exam.
Healthcare workers who must input, retrieve, and understand digital patient records that are contained in a health information system should be certified. Certification demonstrates that the healthcare provider is knowledgeable and capable of properly making use of important health care information. Anyone who comes in contact with digital patient records should take the DPRC to become certified: Hospital workers, physicians, nurses, dental workers, physical therapists, pharmacy professionals, and federal and state health care workers, are just a few examples providers of who should take the DPRC. Additionally, medical, nursing, and other related educational programs should include successfully completion of a course in medical informatics and the DPRC.
