What does the RMA credential show, and who can sit the exam?

A medical assistant works in two worlds at once. In the morning that may mean checking a patient in, verifying insurance and keeping the schedule moving. An hour later it may mean taking vital signs, preparing a room or setting up an instrument tray. The Registered Medical Assistant credential from American Medical Technologists (AMT) is built around that mix. It tells an employer that you passed a standard exam covering both the front office and the clinical side of an outpatient practice.

AMT is the certifying body, and its own page for the credential is the place to confirm anything that can change. At the time of writing, AMT's Medical Assistant (RMA) page says that all applicants must pass the AMT examination for RMA to become certified. It also says that applicants must meet one of its eligibility routes before they can apply.
