Heres the facts guys. RMA vs. CMA, no difference at all. If the job requires you to be a CMA, and you are a RMA you are qualified and can apply for the job. Both designations mean the same. Its the same as the LPN and LVN title. In some states you are called a LPN and some you are called a LVN . Same title same job. Both tests are the same, I have taken both. Some jobs just want to make a bias on qualifications, i seen where they want you to be certified by the AAMA or they wont accept you. Im not sure if this is legal, that should be checked into.
Now my personal opinion, I think AMT is a better certifying body cause they recognize people who have been working the the field five years or more. A MA with 5-10 years of knowledge, then takes the exam and passes might be better training than a MA fresh out of school and just or moderately passes the AAMA exam, after all you can meet the minimum score on both test and still be called a CMA, or RMA, just my opinion though.

I agree completely with Suzy and the second poster RMA.

CMA and RMA are just two different credentials from two different certifying sponsors, one is the AAMA, the other is the AMT. Both certification exams attest to the certificant's knowledge in the clinical and administrative areas of the medical assistant profession.

I also agree that AMT is the better of the two as far as professonal membership and support. AMT has done a great job keeping their certification rules and requirement open to real people. I almost want to say the "average guy" but that would be a little confusing to put it that way, because they also have expectations to meet, and a reputation to keep.

However, yes, they recognize that a person who might not have the diploma from an accredited school, but has many years of experience and training, and continuous employment under his/her belt should be allowed to sit for their examination exam. And why not???? Just because one graduated from school, and passes the exam, which consists of multiple choice questions, or one worked for years, and passes the exam, means the same thing to me = the person has demonstrated that they are qualified to do the job!

AMT also recognizes the skills of our military personell, such as the medics, which are WELL trained, and should indeed be given the satisfaction of working as medical technologists when they leave the Armed Services.

AAMA wants to portray the image that CMA's are distinguished from the rest. Which, like it has been put so well, it's actually not much of a difference at all --- if any. Hopefully, over time, AAMA won't loose focus on what certification is REALLY about.

Hi, I am responding to one of the replies that stated in order to get your RMA that you must have first taken the certifying exam through the AAMA. That is not true.

You can't sit for the exam to become certified through the AAMA if you are not a graduate of an accredited program but if you have five or more years experience as an MA, you can sit for the RMA exam through AMT. You do not have had to of sat for your CMA or any other exam first.

Just wanted to let you know.

Your Professional Title/Credentials: RMA

Last year, the AMT implemented a lawsuit against the AAMA over the use of CMA vs. RMA. The lawsuit stipulated that, in fact, the designation of RMA was identical to CMA. What is important here is that AMT WON THE LAWSUIT. Now just what does this mean - that any job that recognizes CMA should be able to accept the RMA designation. If you become RMA you can obtain a letter from AMT explaining that the RMA is the same as the CMA.

The rub to me is that I do not believe that AMT is doing enough to promote the RMA. I think this is because the group is made up primarily of MTs and MLTs. I am the secretary of the Oklahoma State of Society of AMT, and I think I will bring this topic up at the next board meeting, which will not be until April. The OKSSAMT has 2 national board members so I am going to make a plea with them about this situation and that enough just isn't being accomplished.

Also, I posted several article and even e-mailed the "National" medical assistant rep for AMT but never receieved an answer. I think I will go on more of a campaign and let AMT know that while they are making great roads into issues for AMT's, the RMA's are being ignored.

I have considered switching my affiliation from AMT to the AAMA, simply because I feel that AAMA is doing more to promote the medical assistant profession than AMT is. Maybe this will get the ball rolling for RMAs.

Another thing that might help, ask the hiring agency if they are familiar with the RMA designation. If not then maybe you can enlighten them on the subject.

In response to Tracy's question about CMA's having an associate degree:

That totally depends on the school you are attending. Certification has nothing to do with the type of degree you receive.

Certification is based on the number of program hours program completed as well as course content, not whether it is a degree producing program. Also, instructor qualifications are looked at in order for the program to be sanctioned by the AAMA or the AMT. To become CMA or RMA certified, the courses usually consist of at least 760-900 hours of classroom work and internship. Both CMA and RMA require an internship to become certified.

It is also up to the school on which organization they wish to certify with. Schools must meet the CAAHEP or ABHES requirements to be eligible for "accredited". If the school is not "accredited" by either ABHES or CAAHEP, then the student is not eligible to sit for the RMA or CMA exams.

MA's who have not have formal training, but OJT may sit for the AMT RMA exam after 5 years of employment.

Access the AMT website (AMT1.com)and look for the chapter is your state. Contact one of the board members and ask to come to a state society meeting (they will usually let you do this at no cost) so you can become more familiar with the organization.

I live in Oklahoma and am the state society secretary. The AAMA has no state chapter in OK, and that is one of the reasons I am prejudicial against the AAMA - lack of chapter societies. AMT has a chapter is every state as well as the virgin islands.

I just passed the RMA on 12/7 and contacted the president of the state chapter of AAMA to inquire about attending their meetings for my ceu's and to let her know I'm currently looking for employment. Does RMA even have state chapters? Turns out, she is a CMA/Office Manager and asked for my resume because she knew of an opening. Her reaction to my resume was that she said, "YOu are misrepresenting yourself as a certified medical assistant. You are not certified.You cannot apply as a certified medical assistant. If you came into my office as a certified medical assistant and I found out you are RMA, I would not grant you an interview. You need to change your resume." I never used the CMA credentials on my resume but under the heading "Certification" I stated, Registered Medical Assistant, American Medical Technologist. The CMA/Office manager objected to this specifically. I offered documentation to my certification but I get a clear message from her...only CMA's are certified medical assistants! I have requested

Rena,
this medical office manager is wrong. Perhaps she is unaware, but the meaning of the term registered is the same as certified. A Registered Medical Assistant is CERTIFIED as such. It is beyond me that this misconception still exists.

Donald A. Balasa, JD, MBA, who is the AAMA Executive Director and Legal Counsel of the AAMA made the following public statement in August 2007:

Your Professional Title/Credentials: Website Owner?Site Admin

What a bunch of crap! She must have been ticked off that you were asking to attend AAMA meetings for CEUs when you took your test through their main competitor. AMT does have regional meetings,about twice a year. If you are a member someone should be contacting you as to where and when they will be,but you have to have a membership.

Is THIS the thinking of the AAMA,that only those certified through their agency are certified?

Your Professional Title/Credentials: RMA

Thank you for clearing this up Danni. So...I can apply for a CMA position as long as use lower case letters, ie...certified medical assistant. Funny, I heard from the CMA/Office Manager within HOURS of submitting my resume, yet since I offered documentation that I am indeed certified...silence for over 24 hours now. I guess the position will be offered to someone more qualified.

I'm wondering if a good way to explain the difference between a CMA and an RMA to an office manager is to compare it to the difference between an MD and DO?(which really comes down to the initials being different, not the skills, scope, or ability)

To everyone: Please read my post of Nov 29 concerning the lawsuit AMT brought against and WON, over the AAMA regarding the use of "certified medical assistant". Like I said, AAMA has a "copyright" over the initials "CMA" however, if you are an RMA through the AMT, you most certainly are a "certified" medical assistant. Probably the office manager is jealous, doesn't really keep up to date with current happenings in her chosen "profession", and like so many others of the AAMA, thinks the AAMA is the ONLY thing happening out there. I will try to contact AMT national headquarters and get more information about the RMA vs. CMA thingy and get up on this board.

Your Professional Title/Credentials: RMA

You are way off in your thinking. There are no "CMA programs",there are just medical assisting programs and only the accredited ones allows you to become either a CMA or an RMA,but it's whatever you choose,not what the school was teaching. The programs teach the same skills,there is no emphasis on one area for CMAs,and another area for RMAs. This has already been cleared up. You CANNOT become an RMA without taking a test. If you are being told by this 15 week school that you are an RMA and you didn't sit for the AMT exam then you are being lied to big time.

i think it depends on the employer. i just went to a career fair here in boise, idaho today, and spoke with a representative of St. Luke's, one of the two largest medical groups in town. He stated that although he isn't even in a position to have to know the difference between CMA & RMA, he does, however, know that that St. Luke's in particular will hire either one, but that they pay CMA's more. maybe that's just an idaho thing, or something, we seem to generally be a bit backwards, and behind the times, in comparison to the rest of the country.

So, does anyone know, what a person would have to do to get both, just to cover all their bases? is that do-able? also, i've thought about getting my C.N.A. as well, just so i can either work under a Dr. or a nurse. i figgure this will make me even more marketable. i wonder how i could go about doing that or if it would even be worth it. anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

From what information I have recieved there is no difference in the credentials-the difference is what organization you take your certification exam...they are two different organizations and they can call it whatever they want when you pay them that money for the test.

RMAs are better than CMAs in the fact that we go to school longer (at least in NYC) and take more science courses; such as Microbiology, Pharmacology, Interpersonal communications, Medical ethics and law, Business and technical writing, and English Comp. II.

We get paid more and because we get credits for what we study (60 crdts), we can continue our education right on.

Know your facts. An RMA can be someone who only had "on the job experience", at least 5 years, no formal schooling, and took the exam through AMT. Go to the AMT web-site for a full explanation.

In my area of the US, RMA's are not hired because it is assumed you did not go to school to become certified.

An RMA or CMA is still an unlicensed health care worker. The end result an emplyoer wants is certification.

I ran into the same problem with a position they stated that they preferred a CMA over an RMA and I don't know why I've take numerous classes to receive my A.S. in this field and to be down played because of the schools its crazy but now someone else hired me as an MA and I am pleased with the pay but to be honest I really dont think there is a difference. I shall say thou I took the exam for the RMA and my school told me I was eligible to take the CMA test and that it was recommended and if its for me to go into the same field with the same starting pay then why waste extra time and money.

Yes I am certified in New York, but after taking and passing the medical ass., and Phleb. for NY state I payed my 90.00$ to sit for the National Cert. that I also passed, since being here all I am ever asked is are you thru the AAMA or the AMT. I think it's nonsense and so does my instructor after feeling as if I have no worth I called my instructor back in Manhattan and she said what difference does it make you CERT. after calling AAMA they said they could not help me, call AMT as if they are better. I called AMT and was sent an application to sit for there test and a test booklet that I had to pay 25.00$ for so I can sit for their test, I feel as if I should not have to sit for any other test when I just payed 90 for the test this past June can someone tell me what they feel about this matter.

The CMA and RMA are both the same. RMA is through the AMT and The CMA is through AAMA. They are both equally the same. Only difference is that the CMA has been around longer and the RMA was more common on the West coast and has become more widely spread. You get the same pay with either. The CMA however, has its perks, because through the AAMA, you can get your CEU's through there catalogs, conventions and so forth. But being in school and deciding which one to take, I have learned that they are both equally as good, one is cheaper and shorter, but Doctors recognize both of them. I have even called doctors offices and ask what they prefer. Also, the RMA is offered every month or two, and the CMA is only offered twice a year and it costs more. I have been in school for a little over a year, and once I finish my internship I will be able to take either one, or both if I choose. So, you dont have to have different schooling for the CMA.

WOW, this is fascinating!! I have been working in the medical field for 21 years! I started out as a receptionist with no college education. My managers and supervisors always saw that I had more potential, and they trained me to be a "medical assistant". As the clinic grew, they offered classes to employees, such as, injections, medication administration and venipuncture. I have certificates of completion in all of these and have had extensive "hands on" experience in OB/GYN, Podiatry, Family Medicine and 10 years in Urgent Care. I recently left this company and moved out of state. I just went to an interview with a medical group that wants either a CMA or RMA, and even with all of my experience, I am concerned that I won't pass the RMA exam. I can tell you that when I left Urgent Care, I was training the back office staff, including LVN's and RN's, but is that enough? I know that I should have gone to school, but children and a lousy marriage were always in the way. Are there any RMA's out there that took the test without going to school that can give me some advice?
Thanks!!

There is a huge difference between the AAMA and the AMT! You do not have to go to school to be registered throught the AMT! All you need is 5 years "on the job training". That is why many employers will only hire CMA's over RMA's.

Why not get both? the certs don't cost very much and if you are just starting out, the more certs and memberships to professional organizations you have, the better.


I think getting work as a medical assistant depends mostly on you, not where you went to school or what certifications you have. If you work hard, understood and competently perform the procedures you learned, have good attendance, and grasp the concept of professionalism, you'll be fine.

I'm the back office manager of a large free clinic. It's almost insulting when people come to interviews completely unaware of how to dress/behave. You need to be able to communicate clearly, neatly groomed, and wear conservative business attire, and have a copy of your resume (make sure there are no spelling errors on it). Above all, don't be late and don't be rude to the front office staff. So many people just don't get it. It's the attention to the small details that separate the employed from the unemployed.

I'm also more likely to hire someone with both certifications. It's not that expensive and it shows to me that you are willing to go the extra mile.

Don't discount volunteer experience if you can't find a good job. Call free clinics and the Veterans Administration. I got my start at the VA and the experience was invaluable. It sucked having to work for free and then still have to work for crap at wal-mart, but it paid off. I got my next job through one of the doctor's at the VA, his best friend was looking for a back office MA for his cardiology practice. Always try and network, you never know what kind of jobs it will lead to.

Actually, they are both the same. Some places hire RMA where others hire CMA...doesn't make any sense, right? But it's true. And you can take both tests and be registered AND certified. But my advice would be to figure out what state you want to work in & find out which one that state or nearby surrounded states hire. That would be your best bet.

I am a clinical MA instructor in a Washington State Community College and have worked as an MA in the past. The RMA/CMA are now both electronic and 200 questions. The subject matter is the same, the testing protocol is the same. The credentials are interchangeable as far as most employers go here in Washington.

The nice thing about the AMT (who issues the RMA credential) is that if you are an instructor with a minimum of two years experience, either an RMA or CMA credential, three letters of recommendation and $25.00 annually, you can become a Certified Allied Health Instructor.

I think it is important to stop the dissent over whether the CMA or RMA is better and focus on getting our graduates to take and pass a national exam. Passing a national exam raises the awareness and appreciation of those who work with/hire our professionals.

I happen to highly disagree with you. I think as well as many people I know, think that $90 for a certification test is expensive. It's really expensive when you can afford that $90 for one much less $180 for both tests. I think that is insane that you prefer to hire someone with RMA/CMA certs than a person with only one of the certs because you don't believe they don't cost that much. I just took my RMA a month ago, and out of a scale from 0-100 I got a 94-100. Now, you're saying you wouldn't hire me simply because I don't have my CMA as well?

The fact that AAMA is self proclaiming to be the best is because the truth outweight the fact that AMT IS BETTER AND COLLEGE EDUCATED. AAMA is vocational schooling and on the job training and their CMA did not have college form of education. And the AAMA recognition is only for starting the organization for medical assistant,AAMA START OUT AS UNION. OLDER AAMC CERTIFICATION ARE NOT EDUCATED, AT LEAST NOT FROM COLLEGE. RECENT COLLEGE PROGRAM FOR CMA BY AAMA IS DUE TO AMT CHANLLEGE THE CREDENTIAL FOR KNOWLEDGE NOT EXPERIENCE.

WOW!!! I have read this forum for quite some time!! I am appalled at the amount of "misinformation" still being posted. i.e.: "RMA goes to college, CMA does not." "CMA is only recognized state wide, RMA is a national certificate" And on and on.

If you people really want to know the facts, you need to contact representatives of the state societies in the state in which you live. AMT has chapters in all 50 states, including the Caribbean. I am not sure which states do not have a AAMA chapter. I live in Oklahoma and there is no state chapter here for AAMA.

This whole controversy started over this: AAMA has the CMA designation (with capital letters) COPYRIGHTED. So this means that any other organization that wishes to "certify" ma's CANNOT use CMA with capital letters. Did'nt anyone read the comment I made about the lawsuit that AMT broght against AAMA a few years ago? It says essentially this: AAMA is the only organization that can use "Certified". All others can say their ma's are "certified". Look closely here: the only difference is the CAPITALIZATION. A medical assistant is a medical assistant, regardless of the type of "credential" they hold. But, there are slight differences in the organizations (AAMA, AMT, ARMA, AAMP) themselves. To certify through AAMA, you MUST have received your MA training from a formal school - a trade or vocational school, or a college. All the other organizations will allow you to sit for the exam if you have OJT (on job training). All 4 of these organizations I mentioned above are NATIONWIDE accepted. There may be some states that require a state certificate that may not be accepted in another state, but these 4 are good ANY WHERE!!Which credential is better???? Who knows. Which school is better??? Who knows. Some schools offer both administrative and clinical curriculum. Some schools offer one without you haveing to take the other. If you want to sit for the AAMA or AMT exam, you will have to have a basic knowledge of both administrative and clinical areas. For those of you who have "only" a phlebotomist" certificate, this will not be enough for you to become certified as a Medical Assistant. You will need some school or OJT to become a "certified" medical assistant. If you are RMA and wish to apply for a job that calls only for CMA, I suggest you contact AMT to obtain the letter that will inform employers that RMA is the same as CMA.
I guess this controversy will never end. If the MA's themselves out there are confused over the designation, how can you expect an office manager (who is more than likely neither) to know the difference.

Anyone who wishes, please contact me by e-mail. I am the secretary of the Oklahoma State Soceity of American Medical Technologists and I will be happy to help you with the credentials.
