B. ABHES

Answer 1

Answer: C. AAMA

The American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA) is responsible in revising and updating the standards used for the accreditation of medical assisting programs.

Therefore, you should make a research to this organization to see to it that your local medical assisting program is accredited. In addition, if you are already registered MA, re-certification is allowed as long as your medical assisting credential remains current.
