Attending A Medical Assistant College - How To Get That Degree (medication discounts)

Monday, 27 October 2008
By Scott Salter

  Those interested in a career as a medical assistant will want to attend a medical assistant college to get their associate's degree. It is possible to attend an accredited one year program that results in a certificate, but if you want to be as well prepared as possible for your new career, a two year program is better.

An associate's degree from a medical assistant college will also help you to better prepare for the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA) Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) exam. Although certification is not required, it is looked upon very favorably by employers. The easiest way to find an accredited medical assistant college is to go to the Commission on Accreditation of Alllied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) website.

Most medical assistant programs are offered through community colleges, junior colleges, and technical colleges. There are a total of 267 accredited medical assistant colleges that have programs resulting in associate's degrees. This includes colleges in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana,

(Drugstore online) Online Medical Transcription Training or Offline - Does It Matter?

Sunday, 26 October 2008
By Ben Needles

  I meet a lot of people who want to be medical transcriptionists. The appeal is of course that you can work at home, and as gas prices go up, the urge to save on it increases. And I always recommend the better online training courses to them. Why is that?

1. Numbers.

The most basic reason just comes down to numbers, as in number of students. Online schools can have more students than local schools, and so they are generally better known by employers around the country.

2. Reputation.

Pick a school with a good reputation with employers and you increase your odds of finding a job after graduation. This is huge. If your school is an unknown you may struggle to find an employer willing to hire you. Theyre not much on taking chances with something as important as peoples medical records, which is why so many want either an education from a school they trust or two years experience.

3. Convenience.

Going to a local school probably means you have to physically attend class at set times.
