If you use an MA textbook, be sure it is compatible with the type of learning you wish your MAs to have. CMS only requires the MA to have at a minimum 600 clinical hours of training while some programs offer an associates degree. You will not find any specific to the MA in Lippincott under nursing becasue the profession does not recognize the cMA position. The cMA falls under the Board of Medicine. One of the modules inthe Steps Forward program: Medical Assistant Professional DevelopmentEnhance the Skills and Roles of the Care Team, can be found at <https://edhub.ama-assn.org/steps-forward/module/2702558>
