SoCalPrePa1 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I have 3 years experience as a certified medical assistant working in an outpatient cardiology office. Should I list this as healthcare experience or patient care experience? Not sure what to do since CASPA label medical assisting as healthcare experience when I think it should be patient care experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the CASPA website, it lists medical assisting and CNA has "healthcare experience" but I know most schools taking MA as patient care experience. For the sake of my application, wouldn't it be better to label my experience as PCE instead of HCE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be PCE, if you are actually taking vitals, etc. If it's like answering phones, managing the front/back office, etc, then no.
