About
Medical Assistants like spending time with patients, but they’re also capable of carrying out important office-type tasks. Change is constant, so they have to be comfortable doing different things each day. They also get along with people easily.
A Medical Assistant is like a referee–they’re one of the most important people in the building, but they often go unnoticed if they’re doing their job well.
Your training prepares you to become a vital person in the medical office. You’ll update patient medical records, fill out reports, lab tests, diagnoses and treatment plans. Your duties are to evaluate records for completeness and ensure that essential info is in the computer.
Duties may also include taking medical histories and recording vital signs, explaining treatment procedures to patients, preparing patients for exams, and assisting physicians.
