Medical Assisting

Medical assisting is the only allied health profession of employees specifically trained to work in ambulatory settings, including physicians' offices, clinics, and group practices. And the demand for medical assisting services is growing exponentially.

When you become certified in medical assisting through the American Association of Medical Assistants, you pledge to always render service with full respect for the dignity of humanity; respect confidential information obtained through employment unless legally authorized or required by responsible performance of duty to divulge such information; uphold the honor and high principles of the profession and accept its disciplines; seek to continually improve the knowledge and skills of medical assistants for the benefit of patients and professional colleagues; and participate in additional service activities aimed toward improving the health and well-being of the community.

In addition, Certified Medical Assistants must hold to the American Association of Medical Assistants creed: "I believe in the principles and purposes of the profession of medical assisting. I endeavor to be more effective. I aspire to render greater service. I protect the confidence entrusted to me. I am dedicated to the care and well-being of all people. I am loyal to my employer. I am true to the ethics of my profession. I am strengthened by compassion, courage and faith."
