Book Synopsis

This text will prepare medical assisting candidates to successfully pass the CMA and RMA national medical assisting certification exams. A unique pretest helps students identify their strong and weak areas and develop a tailored and highly effective study plan. The book is comprehensive yet concise and engaging, with humor, an encouraging tone, motivational strategies, and a simple and effective approach designed to keep readers focused. Each chapter ends with multiple-choice programmed-learning style questions, with answers and brief rationales in an adjacent column. A full unit is devoted to exam day preparation.

A fully updated bound-in CD-ROM contains two practice exams, one for CMA and one for RMA.
