Question

How is a CNA different from a Medical Assistant (MA)?

Accepted Answer

Although the patient care aspect of their jobs can be similar, CNAs typically have more direct patient care, while MAs tend to take on a more administrative and clerical role. CNAs typically require more training and report to LPNs or RNs, whereas MAs often report to office managers or physicians.
