Exam outline and official sources
American Medical Certification Association (AMCA) · Verified as of 2026-10-18. The workbook label maps directly to AMCA's Mental Health Technician Certification (MHTC). This guide uses the current pre-2027 Certification Program Outline: Process & Procedure 9%, Psychological Development 57%, Pharmacology 19%, Medical Office/Patient Care Skills 12%, and Practice Settings 3%. The outline has no printed effective date. AMCA's examination page distinguishes this outline from a prospective 2027 outline. Its linked legacy blueprint, internally titled 'MHTC Exam Blueprint 2021', contains conflicting weights and a 100-item total; those historical figures are not used here.
This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
