Is Career Training Right for You?
Take the Free QuizMedical Assisting is a great career option for those who want to be in the medical field without the hours, degrees, and obligations other medical professionals are subject to. Whether you enjoy working with patients or managing office-related tasks, there is a place in medical assisting for you. But how do you get your Medical Assistant Certification?
The first step to getting certified is finishing high school or earning your GED. If you did not graduate from high school, look into your local GED certification courses and exams. There are also many resources to help you prepare for the exam—from courses, to online study guides, to books you can check out from your local library.
To make sure that Medical Assisting Certification is right for you and to help you determine what type of position might best suit you, evaluate your soft skills and interests. Do you like the medical and clinical aspects of the career? Would you rather take on administrative tasks because the sight of blood makes you queasy? Most small medical practices require that MAs do both, but a larger organization may have specific tasks—either administrative or clinical.
