Talk:Medical Assistant (MA)

message: Just to let those know who are particularly interested in the maintenance of this article: compared to a few weeks ago, the first paragraph now looks like total crap, and the statement in "e.g. USA, where they are required to be registered" is completely false. As far as my input toward the article... there are enough "self-appointed" guardinans here who in the past have taken over nicely when it came to so-called SPAM links. Why not step up to the plate now?
Just my 2 cents worth.

message: Remember, maintaining a "world wide view" although important may not necessarily apply here. The category (see disambiguation) is: healthcare providers in the U.S.. The U.S. however, has rules and regulations that can differ from state to state. That will also make it very challenging to maintaing the "world wide" view. Therefore, thaking this in consideration, I'd say the annotation of the article that is does not maintain or "... represtent a world wide view" is not needed here. --Danni R. 17:07, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Or, if Wikipedia's main goal is to keep content neutral and global (world wide view) then surely this article does not belong here at all, since it is not. This particular article, as stated, can never reflect the desired "world wide view" because it pertains to U.S. Health Care Providers. There is enough information available elsewhere, especially on the Internet, and libraries across the country. As a better informed Wikipedian I happen to see eye to eye with THB and many others here. I totally agree. The Medical Assistant(MA) article is regional, therefore does NOT reflect a world wide view. Anything that does not fit should go. We clean up one thing, we must also clean up others. Rules are rules. I vote for deletion. --Danni R. 17:50, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Minor copyedits performed (idiom, punc&spell, passive voice).
Also changing lead to stronger "the...tasks that keep (them) running smoothly" from "tasks...to keep".  Would rather see "the...tasks that enable (them)...to run smoothly", as it's stronger still (aren't MA's the how and why it runs, not just people who "keep" someone else's smooth-running office?), but I'll wait on that a bit in case the original contributor has thoughts on this.

message: The current photo is of Israel MDA (Magen David Adom) paramedics attending to a car crash. How is this related to being a medical assistant? Bstone 03:58, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Edits made to make the listing less US-exclusive by (i) including references from other countries (Canada) and to the International Standard Classification of Occupations, not just US Bureau of Statistics, and (ii) giving examples of equivalent titles in other countries for cross-referencing. (Similar edits made in page for "Clinical officers" referencing back to PAs.) Gupta, 28 Feb 2011.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guptan99 (talk • contribs) 14:43, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
