Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This third edition is the most comprehensive and dynamic learning package on the market for Medical Assisting. It boasts the most skills and procedures covered and includes key areas either not found or lightly touched on in other books such as: History of Medicine, Professional Procedures, coverage of OSHA and CLIA, and transcription. All ABHES and CAAHEP competencies are covered. The new edition maps to the latest CAAHEP Standards and Guidelines for Medical Assisting Educational programs and the ABHES Program Requirements and Curriculum. Comprehensive Medical Assisting: Administrative and Clinical Competencies provides more opportunity for critical thinking through case studies, critical thinking questions, scenarios, and features tying to both of Delmar's Medical Assisting DVD series. The book also emphasizes softer skills such as professionalism and practical skills including how to comply with HIPAA regulations and deal with privacy issues on the job. Delmar is a part of Cengage Learning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book!, September 27, 1998
By A Customer
This book is excellent if you or anybody you know that is in the field or training to be a Medical Assistant. I am currently in the program at my local community college and love this textbook. Infact all my classmates call it "THE BIBLE" we use it so much and for everything. It teached you everything from how to send int insurance claim forms to putting on a pair of laytex gloves on!! I am definatly keeping this book when I am done with my program for further reference... ***** 5 stars !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book!!!, January 24, 2006
I am taking the CMA exam this month and have my Associates Degree in the field. I borrowed this book ftom a student who started school before I did. The text book we had was not near as informative! This text has everything you need to know! I am purchasing it for my own reference because it was so helpful. I highly recommend this book to all Medical Assistants!
