As an MA, calling me “just a receptionist” pisses me CLEAN tf off. Brotha i have a DEGREE in this. just because i have an obsessive sticky note habit and will bite your head off if you take my pen(sharpie S-Gel .7) doesn’t mean i’m a receptionist. hoe.
Ah yes, so my college degree is rendered useless bc you said?

a job not requiring a degree means you didn’t have to get it to have the job. i’m sure it helped but like 1 said there’s no degree to be a medical assistant

that doesn’t mean a degree is required tho 😭 great that you have one and i’m sure it helped you get your job but in most places you just need to be certified, you don’t need an actual degree

There IS though… I’m confused where are y’all seeing that there isn’t any degree requirements bc medical assistant requires at least an associates???

You quite literally DO absolutely HAVE TO be certified with an associates in medical assisting to do it. I know bc I was trying to leave vet med but I’d have to go get my MA if I wanted to move to people.

there is an associates for medical assisting but it’s not required per say. having it and being certified by the NHA def gives you a leg up in the world though

it might vary state by state but it is 100% not a requirement, at least where i live. most places don’t even require a certificate here, they do on the job training

Crazy, in Nebraska EVERY single job listing does require it
