The average salary for MA is about $21,000 a year or about $12 dollars an hour. Unfortunately it seems that MA'a aren't paid very well for the money you spend trying to become one. Most people spend about $12,000 for a certificate and get paid less money that a person working as a cashier at a retail store
Continuing Education units, (CEU's) are required for MA's to keep their certification, and credentials.
Do you know of any work place that will allow one to learn to be a medical assistant, or volunteer time to observe and learn while training to become a MA
I make only 13.00 and hour, but it also depends on your experience and where you work at. I wouldn't suggest going to school for a Medical Assistant unless you plan on going to school for RN. So that way you have Medical experience. On the other hand, I have a friend who makes 17-18 as a MA. It just all depends where you work.
Although not required, certification indicates that a medical assistant meets certain standards of knowledge. It may also help to distinguish an experienced or formally trained assistant from an entry-level assistant, which may lead to a higher salary or more employment opportunities. Employers also understand that hiring someone who is certified saves them training time, effort, and expense.
Help the doctors? Essentially the MA is in charge of documenting, checking in patients, Vital Signs, possibly lab draws.
