  • If you test at a testing center other than TCAT Dickson or Clarksville, please have the testing facility email Sherry.Bowman@tcatdickson.edu with your official scores.
  • Achieving the minimum scores on the HESI A2 exam does not guarantee admission. Admission to the Medical Assisting Technology Program is highly competitive, and only a select number of students are enrolled in each class.
