Today's Medical Assistant: Clinical and Administrative Procedures, 5th Edition, provides medical assisting students with structured training across clinical protocols and office administration. Authored by Kathy Bonewit-West and Julie Pepper and published by Elsevier, this 1,352-page resource aligns directly with the 2022 CAAHEP Medical Assisting educational competencies to establish foundational discipline standards.
The instructional content systematically connects clinical techniques to daily healthcare office operations. Clinical skill training spans measuring vital signs, administering medications, applying bandaging, performing venipuncture, and assisting with minor office surgery. Corresponding administrative sections explore medical records management, appointment scheduling, and medical coding procedures to equip students for modern outpatient environments.
To support practical clinical execution, the textbook features over 120 illustrated step-by-step procedures detailing underlying principles and documentation guidelines. This methodical approach guides students through required program coursework while helping candidates preparing for CMA, RMA, or other medical assistant certification exams review essential competencies.
