Re: FRUSTRATING..What should I do??

Sorry this reply is so late, but I have not been reading the forums for awhile.

Ask the school for a transcript of the classes you completed. If the class is on your transcript, then you should get a credential for it.

Depending on the state you are in, you may need to sit for a separate certification test.

I have never heard of a certificate for each separate course ("back office", for instance, could be comprised of more than one class).

Also, do you have a "report card" for the classes? You should take this to the registrar of your school to show that you have completed these classes.

Your Professional Title/Credentials: RMA(AMT), CMA(AAMA)

Are You Still In School? no

Re: FRUSTRATING..What should I do??

Hi there, You don't need to have certifications for all these classes you've taken already. It will be on your school transcripts, and your Diploma or Associates Degree, and Medical Assisting Certification, your CPR card that is current. That's all you need in most states.

Your Professional Title/Credentials: NCMA, (NCCT), AS

Are You Still In School? No.

Are You Working? Yes.
