medical assistant certification (CMA) AAMA

Discover the CMA (AAMA) Advantage
When you become a medical assistant, you will work in a challenging, changing, rewarding profession.
So, why go to the trouble of becoming certified?
Certification means a professional edge. It means greater prestige among peers and employers.
It means better job security and greater career advancement opportunities.
Managed care compels doctors to seek professionals, so many employers of allied health personnel insist that their medical assistants be Certified Medical Assistants (CMAs) who have achieved certification through the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA). Why?
To earn the CMA (AAMA) credential you must enroll in a medical assisting program accredited by either the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) or the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). You will attain academic and clinical training in a variety of areas, including?
Human anatomy, physiology and pathology
Medical terminology
Keyboarding and computer applications
Recordkeeping and accounting
Coding and insurance processing
Laboratory techniques
Clinical and diagnostic procedures
Pharmacology
Medication administration
First aid
Office practices
Patient relations
Medical law and ethics
Once you graduate from the program you must successfully complete the rigorous CMA (AAMA) Certification Examination.
Achieving the credential demonstrates two important things to your employer: First, you possess exceptionally broad, thorough knowledge of the field in which you're working. Second, you care enough about your profession to attain that knowledge.
You must renew the credential every five years. This means keeping abreast of new developments in the health care delivery field. You'll participate in continuing education workshops, read authoritative texts, and network with other medical assistants. Health care delivery is changing every day. As a CMA (AAMA), you will be changing with it.
Better job opportunities and pay
As one of the fastest growing allied health care careers, medical assisting offers terrific opportunities for advancement. Medical assistants with certification can advance to office manager, clinical supervisor or qualify for a variety of administrative support occupations. Some medical assistants choose to teach medical assisting. Others choose to obtain a bachelor's degree in human services, health promotion or health services management, to name a few.
Medical assistants with certification are paid competitive wages and can receive valuable benefits. More importantly, they have the satisfaction of knowing that they are helping others and making a positive difference in people's lives.

Get stuck or be practical

get stuck or be practical
By Adi
Are you looking for a job yet your credentials doesn’t match with the qualifications of the positions that companies that are currently looking for? Well, you’re not alone, because there are millions of people out there who are experiencing the same thing. If you are currently employed, are you one of those who are tired of their current jobs and feel that they are not growing and earning enough in their current careers? If that is so, why don’t you consider becoming a
medical assistant? A lot of people have made their quick turns towards a medical assistant career and went abroad to land on a better paying job. Perhaps just like me, you’ve also noticed the growing numbers of medical assistant schools in your local area, or whatever country you are in right now. The reason behind that is pretty obvious, it’s the hot item in the labor industry right now. The need for medical assistants in the whole world is becoming higher and higher. So with the increasing demand, there is more room for employment. So why get stuck or be jobless? Why not get a proper education that would be a stepping stone towards a better career and life? Many kids don’t realize this situation right now, they just take their courses because it’s what they want, without thinking if they would land on a job right after graduating. I think it’s still better to be practical, after all, when you have enough money, you can take whatever course you want afterwards.
