Hello Ms. K , love your channel. I am currently a CCMA and I was certified through MedCa. I haven’t put my certification to use still deciding if I want to go into the medical field. I am a retired Police Officer. I am from Detroit Michigan. I wanted to know where can I do continue education for CCMA ?
Hi Ms. Kendra, and happy holidays! I just recently found your channel and subscribed! I'm in California where it isn't required to be certified to work as a medical assistant, but all job postings I see online require certification and many want CMA and RMA certification and applicants that meet the Board of California's "Qualified Medical Assistant" requirements. NHA isn't included on the list. The only certification that I might qualify for taking a 120-hour class and a 160-hour externship with the AMCA only unless I can get the 3 years full time experience and go through AMT? Before I signed up and made most of my payments for my class that's starting soon, I looked up jobs and seen some available accepting CCMA now there's almost nothing and only RMA/CMA and preferring CMAs. Other than that, they're looking for medical assistants to work in the administrative side. I was thinking if trying to do a CMAA online program with 40 hours of externship through SF State and then trying to get certified again with the NHA would be a good idea, and if the continuing education would credit to both CCMA and CMAA?
There are 10 CEUs required for each cert so if you get both, you'll need 20 total. But you can definitely get CEUs for both certs on the NHA website. And as far as jobs asking for only CMA or RMA, they may not necessarily be familiar with the CCMA cert so you can still apply. Most jobs just want you certified. You can also try a recruiting agency so they only send your resume to jobs for which you qualify.
@@MedicalAssistingwithMsK Thank you. I already looked at recruiting agencies in my area online and only found one that might work. But, I definitely don’t want to do that much CEU that’s why I tried doing a different medical program years ago. This 3 accelerated CCMA program is harder than I thought it would be.
@@MedicalAssistingwithMsKGood Afternoon, I Really Wanted To Be A Cmaa But Unfortunately They Dont Have A Job Similar Where I Stay But I’m Interested In Being A RMA At This Point But Could I Get Your Email Please? I Have So Many Questions!
Ms. k now I’m very nervous. Almost done with MA school online. No hands on until externship. It’s a CCMA certification. Do I have a chance? Should I take the exam after the externship? I hope you answer. I should have knew this before even going to this school. I’ll get you a coffee if you answer. I need help😭 please and thank you!
@@rebeccavan4335 hey! You absolutely do have a chance. I think it’s best to wait until after externship to do your certification exam because what you do on externship will help you with the exam.
Wow.. thank your for this video. I am trying to decide which route to take. I am enrolling in a school this august and they have 240 externship hrs. I am confused still about which Exam to take. They will teach us EKG and Phlebotomy. Can we take CMA and CCMA … or what not be needed. Just CMa? Because aren’t they kind of both the same thing CMA just covers both areas clinical and administrative? Thanks 😊
Hey, your school will let you know which exam they offer. Once you take one, you don't need the other. They both cover clinical and administrative but the CMA covers a lot more.
I am a CCMA. The CCMA course I took covered CMAA material. The CCMA exam also covered CMAA material. I have experience working on the administrative side of medical assisting. I was thinking about going ahead and getting CMAA certified as well. Is the CMAA NHA study material the same as the administrative portion of the CCMA study guide or should I go ahead and purchase the CMAA study material and practice exam?
Great question! Yes it's the same but it goes into more detail. So everything you see on the administrative side of the CCMA, you will also see on the CMAA. However, not everything on the CMAA will be on the CCMA. Hope that makes sense :)
So if I want to study for the CMAA exam, should I go ahead and purchase the NHA CMAA study guide or just study the Administrative portion of the CCMA study guide?
Hello i just watched your video and it was very helpful I've been out the game for 8 years as a RMA and i am now doing my CEU hours and once i do that i am certified again but as far as the hands on i am worried since its been so long what should i do ? how will i get the hands on ? Please help ... By the way i just became a phlebotomy tech last year june and haven't had any luck getting a job and that is why i am doing my RMA CEU hours to land a job not sue why i am having such a hard time landing a job in the medical field ..PLEASE HELP!
Hello Ms.K, I will be going to school in February for MA. The school said they would cover the RMA exam. Once I graduate from the school can I take the CCMA or CMA exam? or do I need to become an RNA first?
Hello Mrs.K I have a question I failed my first MAS class 201 in 2022 Now I’m going back 2023 fall 🎉 I been studying just that when exams Come I get anxiety 😦 and forget the answer and questions what are good turns of getting A on quizzes and Exams
im iunterested in the cmaa program at my local college, but i dont have 1 year experience with the course. its 12 weeks. would i not qualify with a job because its no prerequisite of having experience?
Hey Raki, no. CNA is a whole other profession and in that field of study you don’t learn the same things as a medical assistant. You wouldn’t qualify to take it
@@latonyahall2086 It’s a completely different profession and course of study. The only commonality is that both CNAs and MAs learn to take vital signs. Everything else is different.
Either CCMA CMA or RMA… those are all clinical medical assistant certifications. However, you don’t have to have the actual MA certification to become a nurse

Hello I’m a newbie here. Which one should I take to become certified in all aspects.. like all in one? Would it be a cmaa?
No CMAA is only administrative... for "all in one" you want CMA, RMA, or CCMA

Can a RMA or CMA work in any state or do you have to start over per state?
It’s nationally recognized, so yes you can work in any state.
I am a student in the city of Arlington Tx. and they told me I have to do 160 hrs to graduate, is that correct?
Is the CMA the same as a CCMA? Can a CMA do clinical tasks?
Yes CMAs do clinical tasks
How so I get into rhe amt
americanmedtech.org/medical-assistant
Question, for NHA, a 390 passing score is basically like a 70 percent correct? To pass
Hey 390 is about 78%
Can you take all tests ?
yes
im iunterested in the cmaa program at my local college, but i dont have 1 year experience with the course. its 12 weeks. would i not qualify with a job because its no prerequisite of having experience?
You don't need experience just to enroll in the course. But for the job, most likely you will need experience and certification.
Can ccmm do all of it
Yes, a clinical medical assistant usually can do all of it since administration is included in the curriculum
I am taking my Ccma test 10/26 I was wondering do these certifications go from state to state?
Hey, no it’s national… so it’s the same
@@MedicalAssistingwithMsK ok thank you and will let you know if I pass.😊
@@tabreshiafultz1 🙏🏾❤️
Im CNA. Can i do CCMA
Hey Raki, no. CNA is a whole other profession and in that field of study you don’t learn the same things as a medical assistant. You wouldn’t qualify to take it
@@MedicalAssistingwithMsKwhy is that
@@latonyahall2086 It’s a completely different profession and course of study. The only commonality is that both CNAs and MAs learn to take vital signs. Everything else is different.

How to access all of the study material on NHA's website: th-cam.com/video/S5oQhVfnRgE/w-d-xo.html
Which one would also be the best to take to become a nurse
Either CCMA CMA or RMA… those are all clinical medical assistant certifications. However, you don’t have to have the actual MA certification to become a nurse
This morning was my first day of externship I was lost because they using Athena😢😢😢
They should be training you right?
