Hey! I am a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) working at a private very busy internal medicine practice.

Anyone with a B.S. and an MA mind sharing what they are making or anyone have any tips? In FL.

Hi Everyone,
I am B com graduate with more than 8 years of experience in accounts receivable profile. Is CMA US worth doing for me?

And what kind of benifits I should assume with my career growth after passing it?

My current job title is clinical receptionist. I’m used to “new year, new job,” since I haven’t found one I’m happy with. I’m in my 30s, and $16/hr is the only thing I can find in SC/GA states. I loved my first year as a CMA in a float pool. I love venipuncture, injections, vitals, etc. I’ve tried PCTing, which would have been okay for me, if the manager wasn’t Jekyll and Hyde. I can’t afford to relocate, and I have a friend who offered a $35/hr front desk job @ Kaiser in CA. I feel Stuck.

Career advice needed
I have been working in the industry as an accountant for 7 years, most of my job is related to financial reporting, general ledger, and other sorts of accounting-related tasks.

I like the process improvement e.g. automate the repetitive tasks, and hence hate the copy&paste jobs as an CPA &CMA

Ok what is the average wage for a certified clinical medical assistant now a days? I have 10 years experience and a phlebotomy cert as well that I use! I was brought on at 18.50 1.5 years ago now we can’t get anyone because people want 23-24 an hour with 3 years experience. Is that average now? I don’t even make 20 as the only phlebotomist in my office and that’s what they offered a new CMA with only 3 years experience! I brought it up and they said sorry we don’t make the wages HR does!
