Medical Assistant

Duties and responsibilities: Medical Assistants perform routine administrative and clinical tasks to help the clinics running good and well. That way patients can enter, be attended quicker, and leave relatively quickly. They answer telephones, greet patients, update and fill in medical records, make appointments, and other laboratory services. Clinical duties, although, may vary depending on the state laws. They work in well- lighted, clean environments, they constantly interact with others so they do need social skills, and they regularly work around, a full time assistant, 40 hours a week.
Salary: $30,590

Education: They do not require a licence to become one some states, though, may require specific tests or courses to be taken before hand; in order to complete special tasks. You do need at least a high school diploma or the equivalent. Medical assistants may move up to office manager or also nursing, medical technologist or other jobs.

Demand: The need for a Medical Assistant is rising and is expected to continue rising through 2024. It is expected to grow around 23%, much faster than an average job.


 At first I was not that interested in this career but after reading and researching I juat might be. It doesn't require much schooling so the hardest part will be finding a job and since it is expected to increase should be easier.
