Answer 3

Yes, but I couldn't figure it out, can you help me?

Answer 4

https://www.google.com/search?q=CAAHEP

I see they show up and a wikipedia link... one of those should tell you what they do. Which one(s) were you not able to find?

Answer 5

CCAHEP: Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Educational Programs
AAMA: American Association of Medical Assistants
HIPPA: Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
I wasn't able to find NAM

Answer 6

Well, looky there! Your question is on medical assistants...

Answer 7

I know, but could you still help me? I've done all the reading and I still can't figure it out

Answer 8

Hmmm... but education... so A and B both cover part. C is out.

Answer 9

I think it's A or B

Answer 10

I feel like it's A, but I'm not sure.

Answer 11

NAM seems to not be much related tomedicine:

OK, so a little more digging on A and B.

Answer 12

There's a screenshot describing both and that's why I'm confused because they are both similar in a way, but I'm just not sure.

Answer 13

Well, what CAAHEP does is listed here:

Answer 14

So it is A?

Answer 15

Well, wait a minute. And here is B:

Answer 16

So CAAHEP makes sure the school can teach. AAMA makes sure the person has learned.

Answer 17

Which of the following organizations works to enforce the standards of education for medical assistants?

Ouch. Yah. Really hard to say which way they mean. The school or the student... but overall standards of education, I am going to lean towards A.

Answer 18

That's what I thought, thank you(:

Answer 19

Could you help me with one more?

Answer 20

@e.mccormick

Answer 21

=/ Hmm... I do not know which one is new!

Answer 22

Maybe it's the CAAHEP

Answer 23

OR actually B because

Answer 24

I looked it up and it said the name was changed recently

Answer 25

Well, accreditation sounds like them. We know AAMA was certification, not accredit...

Answer 26

What about AMT?

Answer 27

never mind, i looked up AMT and it's not the answer, so we can cross A out and possibly B too

Answer 28

Kk. Yah, elimination really helps.

Answer 29

Yah, AMTIE is about scolarships, school recognition (not accreditiation), and certification.

Answer 30

I think it's CAAHEP

Answer 31

Yah, that is the only one that does accreditation! So new or not, the others don't do what the question asks about.

Answer 32

Thanks!(:
