Graduate Degrees
Certified Medical Assistants (CMAs) have earned credentials certified by the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA) and are qualified to provide front-line patient care. They work with physicians to deliver medical services in clinics and ambulatory care centers. CMAs may, in fact, spend more time with patients than doctors or the nurses.
