The best man is usually the grooms most trustworthy and faithful friend or relative. The ushers may be the grooms brothers, cousin, or best friends, or brothers and close relatives of the bride.

&#153;

The ring bearer, a young boy between the ages of four and nine (using anyone younger than four is not recommended, no matter how cute he is), is usually a relative of the bride or groom or the child of a dear friend.

When all the grooms' attendants live in the same town, they should all visit the same store to be measured and fitted for their formal attire. If someone lives out of town, he can be measured in the shop of his choice. He should then mail his correct measurements to the bride or groom, who will reserve formal wear and accessories for the final fitting.

In a military wedding the groom, as a member of the armed forces, chooses attendants from among his military friends. His best man, though, may be civilian.

The arch of swords (navy) and savers (army) is reserved only for officers. There should be a minimum of four swords/saber bearers, but it is better to have six or eight. The swords or savers are not worn by the military ushers while seating guests, but are put on just prior to the processional.

The groom's attendants are invited to attend all parties given for the bridal couple except possibly office or special group parties. They are also invited to all bachelor parties.

You may invite the ring bearer to attend parties for the bride and groom, but because of his age his parents may have him forgo attending. But do invite his parents to attend. Also invite his mother to attend any bridal showers, and his father to attend any bachelor parties.

The usher's gifts should all be alike. The best mans gift may vary from the ushers in style and design. A different kind of gift may be given to the ring bearer, one appropriate for his age. Possible gift choices; for the best man and ushers - belt buckles, billfolds, business card cases, collar stay collections, date books, desk accessories, hardbound books, jewelry cases, key rings, money clips, paperweights, pen and pencil sets, pewter mugs, picture frames, CDs/tapes, sports tickets, stationary, travel clocks; and for the rung bearer - a board game, basketball, model airplane, monogrammed mug, or soccer ball.

It is not required that a medical assistant be certified to get a job in the field. However, if you choose to become certified you must complete an accredited education program first. Additionally, a good education increases your chances of finding a good, well-paying job as a medical assistant. Completing an accredited program is the only way to guarantee you are getting value for your education.

It is possible to become a trained medical assistant on the job. However, most medical assistants attend medical assisting school. So in order to be a competitive job candidate, you should consider attending as well. Most medical assisting programs last either one year (for which you will receive a certificate or a diploma) or two years (for which you will receive an associates degree).

Internships are often included in a medical assistant education program. While working in one of these internships you will gain valuable experience in a physician's office, hospital, or other health care facility.

Typically, candidates for admission to medical assisting school must have a high school diploma or equivalent.

There are two organizations that accredit MA programs, so look for these seals when reviewing programs. One is the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and the other is the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). Graduation from a program that is accredited by either of these institutions is an acceptable pre-requisites for both the CMA (AAMA) and RMA (AMT) certification programs.

Receiving an online education can be an efficient, if not the only option for those for those wanting to pursue higher education. Many brick and mortar universities offer online campuses in addition to their regular programs. Also, there are some colleges that offer online degrees only. Additionally, there are some institutions that offer a hybrid of internet classes and physical classes. The following is a list of schools that offer accredited, online, medical assistant programs.

1. University of Pheonix

2. San Joaquin Valley College Online

3. Mountain State University

4. Penn Foster Career School - Healthcare

5. Ashworth University

6. ECPI College of Technology

7. Kaplan University

8. Stratford Career Institute

20. Minnesota School of Business

21. New England Institute of Technology

22. Penn Foster Career School

23. Rasmussen College

24. University of Cincinnati

25. Allied College

Things to consider when choosing an online college are:

1. is the school accredited and is the program I am interested in accredited?

2. what are the tuition and fees involved?

3. what is the teacher/student ratio?

4. is there an option for taking a course at a physical campus?

5. is financial aid available?

6. how long does it take to complete the program?

7. what are the reviews from others who have completed the program?

It would be beneficial to get the answers to all these questions before enrolling in an online medical assistant program.
