Re: Becoming a Medical Assistant Instructor

I am not an instructor but I can tell you that in my state you have to be an RN to teach the second level of Medical Assisting which includes injections, blood draws, medications, clinical placements, ect. The first semester which was all fundamentals was taught by a CMA with a masters in education (the masters is why she was allowed to teach at all). Then the second semester we had an RN. I am not totally sure if this is a state law or was just required because I got my education from a Junior College which could have stricter rules than a tech school. Let me know if you find anything out.
