Senior bandaging

NATIONAL AAMA CONFERENCE ORLANDO FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 2010

It was fun, it was educational, inspiring and motivating...Ms. Bowyer and Ms. Edwards spent 4 days in Orlando Buena Vista, attending daily in-services,meetings,fun activities and meeting with other AAMA members, educators and MAs working in various areas.AAMA has an annual conference choosing different state every year.We were lucky to have it so close to home this year
In-services included subjects like CBC,The Other End of the Stethoscope, Humor, Pet therapy, Music therapy, Coding, Preparing for the Pandemic and many, many more.We met MA educators who were willing to share information about their programs,and very much interested in ours.Some of the educators we talked to already have hybrid MA programs on line.Everyone agrees that there is no way MA should be taught 100% on line.Personal and professional skills are a huge part of being a Medical Assistant and the only way to ensure excellent skills is by personal instruction
Our senior students are fired up and just as excited as we are, wanting to start an AAMA chapter here in St Augustine.The chapter will actually be for the Northeast section of Florida,area will include the panhandle and our surrounding counties.We invite any interested MA student or CMA to contact our school,email dora.edwards@fctc.edu for more information.
