Sara Ricci, CMA (AAMA), who has 10 years of experience, works for Dr. Samuel Fineman, a urologist who also manages male reproductive disorders. Dr. Fineman relies on Sara to handle telephone calls from patients, to have a clear understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the renal system, and to assist him in the clinical area of the practice. Although Sara has worked for Dr. Fineman for almost 2 years, occasionally problems still arise that she is not sure how to manage. Sara attends workshops and conferences to earn continuing education units to maintain her CMA credential and tries to choose topics that focus on urologic issues. In addition, she keeps up to date on new diagnostic procedures and treatments for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Sara helps train other medical assistants in the practice and makes sure adequate patient education supplies are available for self-testicular examination.
