Medical assisting is one of the nation’s careers growing much faster than average for all occupations, according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). With the ever-changing health care landscape, the CMA (AAMA) Certification Exam will continue to evolve, using exam development services provided by PSI.
“We are thrilled to be supporting the mission of the AAMA in delivering more high-quality certified medical assistants and helping them take the next steps in their professional journey,” says Scott Hazlett, Vice President Certification, PSI.
