Medical Assistant

Title from resource description page (viewed Dec. 09, 2010)"Many young people are interested in entry-level healthcare jobs that balance clinical duties with administrative functions. This program illustrates the ins and outs of just such a position-the certified medical assistant. The video examines a CMA's typical responsibilities, such as maintaining patient records, managing a physician's schedule, and preparing examining rooms, as well as the skills a successful medical assistant will need-including data entry, customer service, specimen collection, and first aid. Incorporating interviews with experienced medical assistants and the specialists who train them, the program describes what it takes to become a CMA, from the best high school courses to take to passing the AAMA CMA certification exam. A viewable/printable instructor's guide containing additional material-including student activities, discussion questions, vocabulary terms, and fast facts-is available online. Correlates to national and state board certification standards. A Meridian Production. (20 minutes)."
