02. CCMA
Certified Clinical Medical Assistant
CCMAs often perform more independent functions than CNAs, though they also report to RN's. A Certified Clinical Medical Assistant has often undergone more training than a CNA to handle more aspects of a patient's care, including duties such as drawing blood, administering intravenous therapy (IV), gathering specimens for diagnostic tests, performing electrocardiograms (ECGs), monitoring the nutritional value of a patient's diet, assisting patients in motion exercises or physical therapy and performing laboratory work.
