From Advocacy to Action: Navigating Autism Care Through a Dual Lens

In honor of Autism Awareness Month, this episode of the AAMA Podcast takes a deeper look at what it truly means to support autistic patients—not only through clinical care, but through compassion, understanding, and lived experience. We’re joined by Michele Hinman, CMA (AAMA), whose career spans behavioral health, pediatrics, and medication prior authorizations. Beyond her clinical expertise, Hinman offers a powerful dual perspective as both a medical assistant and a parent of an autistic child. Together, we explore how medical assistants can better connect with autistic patients and their families, the importance of empathy in care delivery, and the lessons learned when professional knowledge meets personal experience. Expand your knowledge in recognition of Autism Awareness Month with a special offer in the AAMA e-Learning Center. The CEU self-study course "Autism: Considerations for Health Care Professionals [https://learning.aama-ntl.org/Public/Catalog/Details.aspx?id=pRFNutLL2gqeMUGuLy%2fidQ%3d%3d&returnurl=%2fUsers%2fUserOnlineCourse.aspx%3fLearningActivityID%3dpRFNutLL2gqeMUGuLy%252fidQ%253d%253d]" is available at a discounted rate for the month of April—designed specifically to strengthen your understanding of autism, enhance patient interactions, and support your continued professional growth.

episode Colorectal Cancer Screening: What Medical Assistants Need to Know artwork

Colorectal Cancer Screening: What Medical Assistants Need to Know

Colorectal cancer screening is one of the most powerful tools in preventing cancer and improving patient outcomes—yet gaps in awareness and follow-through remain. In this episode, we take a closer look at why colorectal cancer continues to be a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, and how early detection through routine screening can make all the difference. Medical assistants play a vital role in this effort. As a consistent point of contact for patients, they are uniquely positioned to influence screening conversations, provide education, and support patients through the screening process—from intake to follow-up care. This episode highlights the critical ways medical assistants help close screening gaps and contribute to better population health outcomes. Joining us is Durado Brooks, MD, MPH, associate chief medical officer for screening at Exact Sciences [https://www.exactsciences.com/]. With decades of experience in cancer prevention and early detection—including more than 20 years leading national screening initiatives at the American Cancer Society—Dr. Brooks shares expert insights on increasing screening rates, addressing disparities, and empowering health care teams to save lives through proactive care. Tune in to learn how you, as a medical assistant, can make a meaningful impact in the fight against colorectal cancer.
