Hartman’s Medical Assisting: The Basics includes the essential information needed to begin working as a medical assistant. Information is explained in everyday language, with a focus on fundamental topics tested on national certification exams. Supplemental information and procedures are located in the instructor’s guide. Many full-color photographs and illustrations reinforce the textbook content. Case studies throughout the administrative and body systems chapters give students the chance to apply what they are learning and imagine themselves on the job. This textbook covers the following:

The role of the medical assistant, including scope of practice, communication skills, and professionalism
Foundational material such as legal and ethical concerns, patient diversity, human psychology and development, infection prevention and control (also emphasized throughout), and response to emergencies and disasters
Fundamentals of administrative medical assisting, including scheduling, electronic and paper record management, correspondence, insurance, coding, billing, and office management
Essential clinical skills such as vital sign and anthropometric measurements, history-taking, patient positioning, and preparing for and assisting with outpatient medical exams and procedures
Basics of medical terminology and abbreviations, with more provided in the instructor’s materials
Material organized by body system—this includes each system’s structure and function, lifespan changes, common conditions, examinations and procedures, and patient education related to the system
Phlebotomy, EKG, and medication administration procedures described in simple language, with enough background information provided to help students understand the procedures, but not so much as to overwhelm
