Welcome to our website! This website was launched to help reunite our residents and alumni before our 100th Celebration in 2006. We are making changes to it to help act as an informational portal and bulletin board for new and old residents and to help residents and visitors get information they may need about the town and the area.
A certified medical assistant is a medical assistant who has passed the examination issued by the American Association of Medical Assistants. The medical assistant certification is considered to be a professional seal of approval that individuals have the necessary knowledge and expertise to work as medical assistants.
There are no national licensing requirements for medical assistants, although, depending on the state in which they work, they may be required to obtain a license to perform certain procedures. Medical Assistants are certified by one of several agencies. Certification is important, particularly for those applying for entry level positions, since it indicates competence in the field. The Certified Medical Assistant designation is offered by the American Association of Medical Assistants.
