Training Manual
In this assignment, you will develop a training manual that will
be utilized for training new employees (certified medical
administrative assistants [CMAAs]) who join the clinic.
Physicians are hiring more CMAAs to help manage the
increasing complexities of patient care and practice
management, while also helping to implement cost-effectiveness
and efficiency. The responsibilities of a CMAA can be tailored
to the needs of the practice. You will manage front-office
functions, manage patient flow, and handle a wide range of
tasks that have been discussed in the past few weeks. As a
CMAA, you may convey clinical information on behalf of the
physician and follow clinical protocol when speaking with
patients, but you cannot exercise independent medical
judgments. You will also help to optimize patient flow, enabling
the physician to see more patients with efficiency, all while
following your State’s scope of practice and working under the
supervision of a licensed physician.
