Recertification support. The following principles are core values for the CCMA applicant and certificant:. Professional Standards.
Respect and understand that, as a healthcare professional, the medical assistant is dedicated to providing competent support—within the scope of practice as set forth by the Medical Board of California—with compassion and respect for human diversity and dignity.
Practice the profession with honesty, integrity and accountability, respecting all laws and regulations and avoiding any false, fraudulent or deceptive activities. Recognize a responsibility to contribute to the improvement of the community and betterment of public health. Provide services with full respect of the rights of patients and colleagues, and safeguard patient confidence and privacy in accordance with the law, including but not limited to HIPAA compliance requirements.
How can I get the certification with out all the schooling and costs that I can not afford? If you have some 18 years worth of work in phlebotomy you have the right experience. But I wanted to pursue phlebotomy but wherever i go I was told that I need to have done some needle sticks on real patients not just on a training dummy. So I have the certificates but not the experience.
There have been times in which a potential employer told me that they prefer certification but would still hire someone with the right hands-on experience even without the certificates. In New York City the requirements are not so strict. I hear in other states they are.
So again, it depends where you are. I am still looking for the right phlebotomy job but I always renew the Phlebotomy license yearly, or as required since phlebotomy is what I would like to pursue. If anyone know please say so. However with the National Healthcareer Association, it seems to be a different story altogether.
The NHA has sent me notifications to pay up and renew every year practically since I graduated but I did not renew because I felt it would be paying money when my Medical Assisting certificate from the school was probably adequate. However on their email it says that the expiration date was already last year. My MA certificate from the school was not revoked.
I am wondering if this is just another way to scare me into paying up when the NHA certification, as pretty as it may look on a resume, does not invalidate the certificate I already earned with the school, nor does it guarantee me better chances of finding a phlebotomy job.
I have not done any phlebotomy in my job but I got the MA and ECG and Phlebotomy certificates in a night-school program while I was working as an office assistant in a dermatology office. It seems that the certificates should enhance my job prospects when I decide to move on and I do want to become a phlebotomist, at least part time.
I doubt renewing the NHA would help in such a situation. The NHA does not mean you got better training or more training. It just means you paid them to have them put an official looking stamp-of-approval on your credentials. I went to school for Medical Assisting 10yrs ago, never went and took the state certification. Is it to late or what can I do? Please help! You must be logged in to post a comment. Search Medical Assistant Programs.
