Registered Medical Assistant Jobs in New York

A Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) plays a crucial role in the nursing industry by performing both administrative and clinical tasks. They are responsible for duties such as scheduling patient appointments, answering phones, updating patient records, drawing blood, administering medications, and assisting physicians during patient examinations. RMAs often serve as a crucial link between patients and doctors, ensuring that the flow of information is smooth, timely, and accurate. They are usually the first point of contact for patients and greatly contribute to creating a positive environment in healthcare settings.

Essential skills for a Registered Medical Assistant include strong communication abilities, attention to detail, technical competence, and good interpersonal skills. They must be certified by the American Medical Technologists (AMT) and should ideally have high school diploma or equivalent. Prior to becoming a Registered Medical Assistant, an individual could have roles such as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Phlebotomist, or Medical Secretary. These positions can provide valuable experience in healthcare settings, patient care, and medical terminology, serving as stepping stones towards the RMA role.
