Re: externship question

at least they appear to be working on it...

The test is pretty much like the practice exam, iirc.

20 hours? We had 240 between front and back office. 20 hours isn't even half a week, is that a typo?

Re: externship question

Hi Jefff,

No, it isnt a typo. This term I will do 20 hours of clinicals, next term another 20 hours of clinicals and my last term is 160 hour externship, so I get a total of 200 hours of hands on experience. Does that make more sense? Sorry I confused you!

Your Professional Title/Credentials: soon to be MA, then CMA

Are You Still In School? Yes

Are You Working? No
