Hello!

I was wondering if the medical assistants in other clinics roll up into nursing or if they roll up to practice managers?

currently at our ambulatory clinics they report into business operations and have a "dotted" line to nursing. We are looking to get an understanding of what others do.

Thanks!

Hi Alaina,

Our reporting structure recently changed this year. MAs are now reporting to LVN Supervisor who reports to the practice manager. Previous both MAs and LVN Supervisor reported to a RN Manager.

It seems that having medical assistants reporting to nursing leadership is the most common reporting structure for medical assistants based on the responses in this thread. In the state of California, our Medical Board states that medical assistants must be supervised by a physician, surgeon, or podiatrist, (or, as delegated in writing, by a PA, or NP).  Curious how others, particularly those in California, with nursing leadership structures are managing this. Do you have organizational policy language that speaks to the supervision required for medical assistants?
