Description
This competency-based learning system covers the administrative, clinical, and general areas necessary for entry-level employment as identified by the medical assistant role delineation study issued by the American Association of Medical Assistants. A listing of role delineation areas in each unit and in Appendix A make it easy to locate specific skills within each competency. Pathophysiology coverage is expanded to include additional diagnostic descriptions and information on medications commonly used to treat conditions. A new unit on related therapies presents information on complementary and alternative treatments. This workbook includes numerous assignment sheets with a variety of review questions, vocabulary and skill exercises, forms to complete, puzzles and other activities to reinforce learning. Performance Evaluation Checklists are also included to assess your administrative, clinical and general competency.
