Your Professional Title/Credentials: medical assistant

Re: HOW CAN YOU GET CERTIFIED

Well, a lot of MAs are asking this question. Not certified by which agency? Usually it refers to the AAMA or to AMT. You may NOT sit for their exams if your school is not accredited.

Here's another alternative - The American Association of Medical Personnel. Web address is: www/aamp.net

A lot of the MA schools in this area do not qualify for AMT or AAMA accreditation but do for AAMP.

There is also some other organizations that will certify MA based on OJT alone. I'll see if I can find their web addresses and forward them to you.

Your Professional Title/Credentials: BSE; RMA(AMT)

Are You Still In School? no
