Medical Assistant: Degree or Certificate? What's the difference? 

I’m 19. Do you think I’ll be okay with the salary of a medical assistant

Thank you !!

I’m going for my certification is the exam hard??

Is that an associate?

@@yelyharmony2047 Yeah

Phantom Entertainment glad i can help ! Stay safe 🙏🏽💕

Hey! I loved your comment I’m in the process of getting my Clinical Certified medical assistant through nha. I was wondering are you able to get a job with the certificate. I’m burnt out on being a cna and I’m looking for a different career in the medical field.

Hi, They let you do Phlebotomy without being certified?

That’s smart what did u do?

All of them will equal an associates …. You take less classes

Dont take MA degree, its as useless as gender studies, a certification is much better more hands on experience (which you need the most), much faster and in the end both MA degree and diploma will get same certification. If you want a degree go for nursing!!

@@apdroidgeek1737 I feel like you still take your certification exam at the end of a MA degree as well though.

Hey love ❤️ same amount of hands on training. No difference lol

Absolutely still valid 👍🏽 No exam needed for MA degree. Only for MA certification.

Hi thank you for watching. Indeed is my best friend

@@diamondnreallife3207 ok, thank you. it seems so saturated there. do you get a lot of call backs?

@@hidfigfig2564 i usually apply for the ones that are “urgently hiring”. Those ones tend to call back a lot faster. There is a way to filter it where only you can only see urgently hiring jobs. Also, if you have little experience, you should filter it to “entry” jobs. Therefore, it will only show jobs that don’t require many years experience.

@@diamondnreallife3207 ok thank you will def do that.

Hey! Thank you so much for watching. ❤️I actually renew my certificate online on amcaexams.com. But that’s because I got certified through AMCA. There are different certifications companies. Therefore I can only speak for AMCA.

Thank you can you explain me about continuing education. I am confused when our certificate expire do we have to retake the exam or continue taking classes all over again to renew certification

@@rociolazo5675 great question! No you don’t have to retake the whole exam (thank goodness). Basically they give you 3 sections (you pay for each, about $20 each) then each section has an article about 8-9 pages and short quizzes. The answers to the quizzes are all in the article. And you move at your own time, there’s no time limit ( of course it has to be done before expiration date) When you pass the quizzes then they will renew your certification and email you an E-Certificate (additional payment is required for physical copy of it) But, don’t worry about not passing, it’s extremely easy and again the answers are in the passage. 💪🏽

@@diamondnreallife3207 thank you for guiding me. Are they’re limited chances in taking the quizzes or can you take many times as you want to get the correct answers

@@rociolazo5675 I believe you can keep re-taking until you pass.

Hi, so depends on your experience. I’m currently $25/hr because now i have 4 years of experience but at the time of this video i was making way less lol.

@@diamondnreallife3207 ok, that makes sense. Thank you. What do you recommend to get the experience and for growth to increase salary?

@@hidfigfig2564 I recommend working in a primary care office. Therefore, you can gain skills in mostly all the basics. As opposed to working in a specialty office, were things can be a lot different.

@@diamondnreallife3207 good to know, thank you!

There’s no such thing as “waste” when it comes to time and learning a skill. Everything happens exactly when it’s supposed to happen. That’s the importance of “going with the flow of life”. And FYI, i will be graduating nursing school this year in December. So there was no waste.
