If you're just starting, make sure to study just because even when you're sure you have all the info down. Focus on the everything but know the billing. When you get done with your hours and they offer you a job be sure to take that position until hired by a place that you would rather work at and gain that experience. That is key in getting hire elsewhere. Keep HIIPAA in mind at all times. Don't be that person that gets fired/fined for discussing someones business in gossip.
I am finishing my program this month! I start my externship in less than three weeks. So excited! Good luck to all of you fellow MA's! Do your best and set a good example for all of us, as we're a team!
Good luck in your classes! Health Care is a growing Industry, which is always helpful when trying to start a career.

i start my medical assistant classes this september(: excited but kinda nervous! and after that im making my way up to become a registered nurse (:
Estephanie Avila nice! i wanted to become an RN but i'm going to become a medical assistant first and then become an RN.
I completed my medical assistant program in 2014 and have yet to find a job. I'm currently working as nursing assistant and it's really not my cup of tea.
Jessica Robinson wow that's the only problem I have, you go to school and still can't find a job
what is nursing assistance?
Jessica Robinson - look for hospitals offering prn positions as an RMA if your able to keep your current job and work prn....the goal is to get your foot in the door first if that department likes your work ethic and has a position available they will hire
guessing cna.

Hi everyone, hope you guys are having a good night so far. I begin M.A school next week so excited but also kind of nervous but am open to this and have a positive mind about it overall. Wish me luck all you M.A 's ! ☺ 😉 if have any tips please let me know especially on the receiving shots part!! lol 😝
I am a student in highschool, I start my first day of my externship today
I am a registered medical assistant in NYC and am still diligently seeking employment with no luck. I am currently taking an extensive course at the American Red Cross to become a certified Phlebotomist.
Use it as a stepping stone. Continue to pursue being an RN. Medical Assisting pay sucks.
I am in my first semester of the medical assisting program at Wake Tech
Starting classes August 7th
I have started classes this year. I'm hoping that I succeed. After my classes, I hope I'll find quickly a job.
Starting class in January
you can do it.. i surprised myself graduating only making 1 B the whole time. just stay focused on your goals. i have not landed a job yet but im sure my criminal background is longer than yours... so you should be fine :-)
I am currently going to school to become a Medical Assistant. I want to work with children in a hospital or doctor's office setting.
melissa if you want to work for kaiser, apply online at kp.org
I start my medical assistant classes this fall but I'm nervous, I just don't know if I'd land a job in this..
:(
how many months or weeks did you take this program ??
I finished college, completed my internship and was hired by the pediatrics office. It went well for a few months, and the doctor laid me off, and its been such a challenge finding a job again. My Dream job is to work at Kaiser, sutter or John Muir. I have applied religiously for 2 years, and I have yet to even go in for an exam. Does anyone have any advice for me??
i'm interested in working in a hospital lab. I want to perform test on blood work and stuff like that. Who does that, or what should i major in to get there?
Med Lab Tech :)
medical laboratory technician or Clinical Laboratory Tech

She's right. Health care is where most of the jobs are at today. This video doesn't glamorize the medical field like these TV trade school ads do. You at least know what a medical assistant does.
twitter : @MedicalSource this page is very helpful!!
I am currently in school for medical assistant i want to go for perfusion when I'm done
What is it like? I'm going into medical assisting this year for 11th and 12th grade
Its pretty good. My advice would be to just stay focused and study study study even when you dont have to...It'll pay off big time
@MsCandynails go for RN alot more money and not that much more money
Is medical assisntant basically a nurse?
A Medical Assistance and Nurse are two different careers - you can learn more about Medical Assistant here: apps.il-work-net.com/cis/Clusters/OccupationDetails/100125?parentId=110800
Not at all. MAs are no where near being a nurse or similar to one.
And they need very little training in our state to do these tasks. A beautician has much more education in our state that an ma or cna. 3 weeks training and they can act as if they are nurses or doctors. Why when it comes to our personal intimate bodies just 3 weeks training? With our experiences we are not fans of cna or mas.
Medical Assistants must go through a training program; the training program is longer than a 3-week span. Medical Assistants and Beauticians are two different fields in the workforce. This video is pertaining to Illinois specifically. An excel training program in Illinois can take about 9 months but the average training program is full-time for at least a year long. Some choose to earn their Associates Degree along with their Medical Assistant Certificate, this takes about 2 years. Also, some take advantage of the opportunity to specialize in a specific area of interest and take additional courses to work towards that specialty.
Medical assistants are involved with a large variety of different medicine aspects but they are not a doctor. They are trained from office responsibilities, medical insurance and billing policies, medical procedures, legal and ethical areas, medical terminology, to in depth Medical Assistant tasks. Medical assistants perform both clinical and administrative duties in their day-to-day job duties by helping care for patients carrying out routine treatments, run lab tests, and maintain office records.
