Which is a better career move Medical Assistant Patient Care Tech or Billing coding?

Medical office technologist is someone who learns how an office runs and can work as a medical receptionist or a medical office assistant assisting the physician. A medical assistant strictly works with the doctor. Take the medical office technology course if you are trying to decide between the two. That way you can apply for positions in an office for the front or the back where the medical assistant is strictly the back part of the office. You can however start as a medical assistant to learn about the processes and system of a medical office and then proceed on to be a medical office technologist or manager. This way, you can have a good experience before you get to a tougher position.

Is a transition to a new way of doing medical assistant job?

Answer: The difference between a certified medical assistant and a registered medical assistant, is a certified MA has gone to an accredited school for medical assisting not just a tech school. Also after they have gone through the program and have graduated from that accreditated school and got their diploma they may then take the national certification test. On that test it has over 300 questions that pertain to everything that the student was taught to them while they were in the program and most of the questions are just common sense ones where you have to think out the situation first and then answer it. Once you past the certification you have the opportunity to become a member of the Ameican Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA) then your title will be C.M.A.(AAMA). If you had a really good medical office assistant training, you can get your certification by getting your own exam.
