What is a Medical Assistant?
​

A Medical Assistant is an allied health professional that supports the work of physicians and other health professionals, usually in a clinic setting.  Medical assistants perform routine tasks and procedures such as measuring patients' vital signs, administering medications and injections, recording information in medical record-keeping systems, preparing and handling medical instruments and supplies, and collecting and preparing specimens of bodily fluids and tissues for laboratory testing.

​

Roles:
​

Medical Assistants are trained in both clinical and administrative work. This multidimensional skill set is unique to medical assistants , and it often sets them apart from other healthcare professionals. Hospitals are relying on the knowledge and abilities of medical assistants more and more each year.

​

The clinical side of medical assisting translates most directly to recording vital signs when interacting with patients, compiling patients' medical histories and administering medications under direction of a supervising physician. In the administrative realm, medical assistants can be responsible for everything from scheduling appointments to billing and assisting patients in filling out insurance forms.

​

Work Schedule:
​

The hours that you'll work as a medical assistant depend on the facility and whether they offer early and late care appointments. Some clinics are open 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Others with extended hours may be open from 6 a.m. - 6 p.m.
