In general and depending where the program was taken, a diploma in medical assisting would have general education requirements within the program such as, English, possibly some math, anatomy and physiology, possibly some chemistry etc. Typically you would fine this in programs offered by colleges, especially community colleges. The certificate would be strictly focused on the career oriented courses. However, if you plan on taking this program, you would be prudent to consider taking it through a college, and not through some private institution, where the tuition would be much more, and possibly not as recognized by employers.

What is the difference between Certified Physician Assistant and Registered Physician Assistant?

Basically, what you are asking is whether professional certification is the same as registration. The answer is yes.YES! In principle, being certified is the same as being registered. In both cases, a person must pass a standardized certification exam to document their theoretical knowledge of professional skills. By passing the certification exam, the professional has proven their knowledge in their field, and earned the right to use a specific credential such as MLT (Medical Laboratory Technician), or RMA (Registered Medical Assistant).Usually, the only difference between the credentials is that they have been verified through different certifying bodies. Some have chosen to grant a "registered..." credential, some give the "certified..." credential, mostly to distinguish one from the other (e.g. Certified Medical Assistant, vs. Registered Medical Assistant). However, both are certified as such.For more on medical assistant certifications, and what they mean visithttp://www.certmedassistant.com - Advanced Medical Assistant Career Guide.
