What AMT’s specifications leave out
AMT’s RMA competency list marks some tasks with a # sign: they are part of the medical assistant’s job but are not tested directly on the exam. Examples are mounting ECG strips, drug reference books, alternative therapies and some minor surgery steps. Our questions follow the tested competencies.
Calculators are not permitted and not needed, so our dosage questions use numbers you can work out by hand.
