A nationwide certified medical assistant has the training, skills and certification to work across the United States. These individuals assist doctors with more complicated procedures than nurses do. These individuals work directly with patients, preparing them for their appointment with the doctor. In some cases they even do work before the doctor arrives such as drawing blood, taking blood pressure and getting background information from the patient. Becoming a certified medical assistant involves finishing school and taking the exam.
