How to write this resume

Show both clinical and admin skills

MAs do both. Highlight phlebotomy and vitals alongside scheduling and billing. Versatility is your selling point.

Include patient volume

Saying '35+ patients daily' shows you can handle a busy practice. Hiring managers care about throughput.

List your certification

CMA (AAMA), RMA (AMT), or CCMA — list it next to your name. Certified MAs earn more and get hired faster.

Mention specific EMR systems

athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen — name them. Clinics want MAs who don't need weeks of EMR training.

Key skills to include

  • Phlebotomy and specimen collection
  • Vital signs and patient intake
  • EKG administration
  • Medical billing and coding (ICD-10, CPT)
  • Electronic medical records
  • Patient scheduling and referral coordination
  • Injection administration
  • HIPAA compliance
  • Medical supply management
  • CPR/BLS certification

Common mistakes

  • Only listing clinical skills and ignoring administrative experience
  • Not mentioning certification — it's often a minimum requirement
  • Using vague descriptions like 'assisted doctor' without specifics
  • Forgetting to include patient volume or efficiency metrics
