What is an RMA Float?

An RMA Float is a medical assistant who works in various departments or locations within a healthcare facility, covering different shifts or filling in for staff as needed. 'RMA' stands for Registered Medical Assistant, and a 'Float' position means the individual is flexible and adaptable, supporting multiple teams rather than being assigned to a single area. This role requires strong clinical skills, the ability to learn quickly, and excellent communication to ensure quality patient care across different environments. RMA Floats often assist with patient intake, vital signs, administrative tasks, and clinical procedures, depending on the facility's needs.
