Great video! Thank you for taking the time to post it. :) I'm in my second semester of a medical assisting program and I love watching these types of videos.
I’m starting my medical assistant program this fall and I hope it all goes well I graduated from beauty school as an esthetician and I wanna continue my education and I REALLY wanna work in a derm so I’m getting my certificate for MA and hopefully work in a derm 😭😭
That’s amazing! You got this. The MA certificate is great because it will allow you to get a job in any office and get your foot in the door! Good luck!
MA/ Cosmetologist here working in plastics assisting in the OR but considering crossing over to derm to crossover from cosmo to esti. Hopeful to get there one day 🤞🤞
Great video! I’d love to know the hours of the clinic vs what time you have to arrive early and what time you usually leave work after patients and all your tasks are done for the day!
Hey, loved your video! ☺️ If you don’t mind me asking - did you specifically want to work in a dermatology office as a medical assistant? Also did you have to get your associate degree? Thanks :)
I have an interview at a Dermatology place this Friday! So nervous, but realllly excited for this opportunity!:D Do you mind me asking how much do you get paid?
@@Miss_Rae it went very well!! They already wanted to hire me after 2 weeks during my externship! But I still have 1 more month to finish my externship hours, and then I'll have a job!😇
@@theopdominator4108 I asked for $17 starting. But remember, it all depends on a lot of things like what state you live in, what kind of setting you're working in (clinic or hospital) and if you're certified or not. Currently, I have not taken the certification state board test yet. Also, the better your are at your job the more opportunities for raises:)
Hi Nicole ! Liquid nitrogen is a Gas used for cryosurgery removal of some skin cancers and skin lesions. One of the main reasons we use it for is for pre cancerous lesions such as Ak’s (actinic keratosis) also non cancerous lesions such as cosmetic removal of hyperpigmentation areas, Acrochordon removal (skin tags) etc. The nitrogen is so cold it freezes the lesion and they end up falling off. It can take from one session to two sessions depending on the size and nature of the lesion sometimes even more.
Not sure if it varies by state but in California you can. I've worked with a CNA in plastics and she worked front and back office just like the MAs. Just find a way to get your foot in the door. Maybe try working front desk and then get cross trained. Good luck!
Ha! I'm a CMA II with my CDT at a very well respected Dermatology practice. Your 'day in the life of a derm MA' is a JOKE. Do you scribe? Biopsies? Why dont you have your CDT? The list could go on and on! You do about 5% of what a real CMA does in a true dermatology office. Thanks, though, for giving my coworkers and I a good laugh! 👍
I followed what that specific office asked of me to do. If you have any issues or concerns about how they run their practice feel free to reach out to them. I’m glad I could make you and your coworkers laugh though🤍🦋 I’m all about positivityyyyy. Best of luck with you medical journey.
Derm is the best, I feel blessed to be able to assist in surgery
Assisting in surgery is the best!🤍
What additional certification did you guys take in order to get into derm. office?
@@lifeastierra nope I’m just a MA not a CMA , in some places in California even plastics will have MAs assisting
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to post it. :) I'm in my second semester of a medical assisting program and I love watching these types of videos.
Thank You! Good luck, it’s a great job👍🏻🤍
I love this!
I just graduated from my MA program and did my extern at an optometry clinic.
Thank you! Congratulations, you’ll do amazing

Omg this is the exact route I'm taking. My MA school thinks I'm crazy and finds it unnecessary but I see the benefit in being an MA
I'm just a scheduler at my derm clinic but I love your video I give major props to yall!!!
Excellent video. This is extremely helpful for those looking to get into the medical field.
“That’s a lot of cereal”
Me: eats two bowls 😂😂
I swear it was more than it looked like in the video🤣🤣 when I was editing the video I was so confused because it looked like more in person lol.
Great video! I’d love to know the hours of the clinic vs what time you have to arrive early and what time you usually leave work after patients and all your tasks are done for the day!
I’ve been trying to figure out what field I would like to be in I’ve been considering dermatology
It’s a great field! Definitely continue watching derm videos and researching more about it if you are interested.

Thanks :)
What do you watch off of for your videos? UA-cam or?
Im in obgyn but don’t really enjoy it, im thinking about switching to dermatology soon
Babyyy, i did obgyn for years and leaving to go to derm in 2 weeks… i got burned out
Love this girl! As an aspiring dermatologists I love this blog 🌚
Do u need to do dosage calculations at the job? I’m really bad at math ;-;
I love your personality ❤

This is what I want to do!!
Do you have any links to educational videos for a MA in derm?
Are you able to help with the procedures or mostly receptionist/ prep duties
Hi, I assisted in surgery. Reception and MA have different job duties. 🤍
what does the liquid nitrogen do?

@@JoannaRivera oh wow very cool!!sometimes they pour it on the floor I’ve seen too
You have my dream bathroom I’m so jealous lol
Are sutures removal hard? I’m scared to hurt a patient 🥺
It is not hard at all! Watch UA-cam videos on how to properly remove sutures and you’ll see. You’ll do great!
I don’t think I could handle dermatology, the skin stuff grosses me out hahaha.
Haha, it’s not for everyone. I personally have not experienced anything feeling gross to me. I find it fascinating
@@JoannaRivera you for sure have my respect hahah. Cysts are my weakness.
you disappeared on us girl! come back
what should I film I miss it🥺🥺🥺
Hello. What college are you in?
Can you tell me more about this field?
I’m going to make a separate video this week giving more information about it love! 💪🏼
Did you have connections to get this job?
nope, not at all.
I’m gonna start tomorrow lmao
Good luck! I hope it’s going amazing.
Can u work in dermatology as a cna?
Not sure if it varies by state but in California you can. I've worked with a CNA in plastics and she worked front and back office just like the MAs. Just find a way to get your foot in the door. Maybe try working front desk and then get cross trained. Good luck!
How much is the pay per hour?
new video is going up answering all of these questions this upcoming week🤍
Instagram name? 🥺
