Certificate or Associates degree in Medical Administrative Assistant? Do you think it matters to get a job?

Question

To get a job in this field do you think you need the extra years or just 3 months? I know an associates degree is better but in this field and line of work do you think it matters?

Answer 1

it all depends on what the employer is looking for so look at tons of job descriptions and see who people are hiring at PureMedicaljobs.com good luck

Answer 2

You may want to look at the MAA jobs in your area and see what they are requiring, an AS or Cert.  Most places either is fine there is no real difference in the actual education, just the paper.  Where I'm located it doesn't matter their looked upon as equal.
