Medical Assistant


Medical Assistant

Duties and Responsibilities: A medical assistant helps out physicians in the workforce by completing secretarial and clinical duties. A medical assistant schedules appointments, takes x-rays, blood work,   temperatures, lad work, exams and lab tests. Medical assistants can work in hospitals, offices, clinics or private offices.
Salary: $17,000-$18,000
Education:  A potential medical assistant should complete high school with courses in biology or any other sciences, should do well in communications or human relations, but in fact should take a medical training program at a technical college or community college.  Most medical assistants have GED’s, but if you want to expand your medical career or become a doctor medical school is needed and a certification test is followed.

Reflection:  The job of a medical assistant is interesting, but, I would not like to be a medical assistant because. I think I don’t have the coordination a medical assistant should have.
