What is a clinical medical assistant?

What is the difference between a medical assistant and a clinical medical assistant?

  • I was wondering what was the difference as in job materials, do they earn a different salary? please help. thank you!

  • Answer:

    There may not be much different, if at all. If comparing medical office assistant to clinical medical assistant, then that would be slightly easier to differentiate :) The medical office assistant will most likely not get hands-on experience with drawing blood (phlebotomy) or performing ekgs (electrocardiograms) as opposed to the clinical MA. Please note that there are not supposed to be too many jobs for the MA (or medical biller or coder) despite what those private $$ schools say. This site has a forum of people that are having difficulty finding jobs: http://www.indeed.com and can click 'forum' and then type into search. If still wanting to get the training, please consider the more affordable county vo-tech school or community college (perhaps non-credit course) as long as it's accredited within the industry.

I don't think so (unless by "clinical" they mean you would be back office)--I think its just someone using different non-standardized terms. The general term is "medical assistant" & that covers front & back--the general training & certificate.
