Medical assistant resume template

Meridian's labelled skill rows sit above the job history, so a practice manager checks clinical procedures, front-office tasks and the EHR before reading any job. That fits a role hired largely on what you can do without supervision, and the black-and-grey page copies cleanly for a clinic's paper file.

Second choice: Henrietta. Henrietta prints education right after experience; choose it as a recent program graduate whose externship and new credential are the main story.

Meridian template details and test results

Meridian prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.

1. Professional Summary. Credential and setting first ("CMA (AAMA) with four years in family practice"), then the clinical and front-office work you cover and the daily patient volume you are used to.
2. Skills. Split clinical work (vitals, injections, venipuncture, EKG, point-of-care tests) from administrative work (scheduling, insurance checks, prior authorizations, referrals), and put the EHR on the Tools row. Meridian prints the row labels, so both halves of the job are visible.
3. Work Experience. Patients roomed per day, providers and specialty, then one thing that improved because of you: fewer overdue vaccines, faster authorizations, a supply room that stopped running out. Front desk jobs keep their insurance and scheduling bullets.
4. Education. MA program, school and completion date, with the externship site and hours as a detail. NHA's CCMA accepts either a completed MA program or supervised work experience, so if you qualified through work, say so in the summary.
5. Certifications. Your credential written exactly, with the year, then BLS. The CMA (AAMA) is recertified every 60 months and the NHA CCMA every two years, so check the date before you send the resume.

The same content as the files above, so you can copy a line or compare it with your own.
