Description
For students completing accredited medical assisting and/or medical administrative curricula; and for healthcare professionals in review courses leading to recertification as a CMA (AAMA), RMA (AMT), or CMAS (AMT).
This is the clearest, most concise, most current review text for students preparing for the CMA, RMA, or CMAS exams, and for working medical assistants preparing to recertify.
