AAMA stands for which organization?

• A. American Association of Medical Assistants
• B. American Academy of Medical Assistants
• C. American Association of Medical Assistants of America
• D. American Alliance of Medical Assistants

Answer: (A)

AAMA stands for American Association of Medical Assistants. The four words match the four letters of the acronym exactly, with each initial forming A-A-M-A. This organization is the certifying body for medical assistants in the United States and administers the CMA, or Certified Medical Assistant, credential, along with setting certification standards and continuing education requirements. The other options use different words or add extra phrasing, which would not produce the correct official name behind the acronym.
