What is the difference between a cna and a cma?

In: Public Health and Safety [Edit categories]

Answer:

CNA is a certified nursing assistant...usually takes about 2-3 months to complete the courses needed to obtain employment as a CNA. A CMA on the other hand is a certified medical assistant and can take anywhere from 1-2 yrs to complete training/school. CNAs usually work in LTC (Long term care) facilities or even hospitals, while CMAs usually work in a doctors office setting. CMAs also do more office work than a CNA, which is mostly patient/bedside care.
