If you were looking for a career change then it seemed like it was a massive step backwards in regards to becoming re-qualified for any of these particular positions. You are now able to do a short stint of training (approximately four weeks) before entering the job as a partially trained medical professional. The rest of your training is done on the job as a paid trainee.
A clinical medical assistant is essentially a physician's secretary. However, their duties vary dramatically compared to that of a regular secretary. A clinical medical assistant can also do many of the jobs that are done by a nurse as they have a basic training in how to do things such as organize and undertake injections or the drawing of blood and preparing patients for medical procedures such as x-rays. In order to work in this field they must have some sort of certification as well as registration with the relevant authorities such as the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA).
A certified nursing assistant is someone who does the basic work that a registered nurse may be too busy to undertake. They essentially do a lot of this ...
... in order to allow registered nurses to focus on the work that they are required to do without having to rely on the smaller jobs that may get in the way or absorb time that is better spent doing other (arguably, more important) work. A patient care technician is somewhat similar to a certified nursing assistant; they differ in that they are not directly accountable to a head nurse - rather they work with a broader range of other medical professionals. They are like a mix between a certified nursing assistant and clinical medical assistant with a little more medically orientated expertise.
All of these jobs offer reasonable salary and in order to become trained for these positions it can take less than two months. If you are unemployed or looking for a career change any of these jobs are easily accessible. The work that you do to become a certified nursing assistant, clinical medical assistant or patient care technician will be recognized if you choose to do any other formal training in regards to becoming a registered nurse. It can dramatically decrease the length of time needed to acquire a degree in this field - especially if you work in the field for a few years. You will still be required to register yourself with the appropriate institute after becoming certified. However, this is a fairly easy process and as a whole, can be the change you are looking for.
