Medical Assistant

Duties and Responsibilities:

Medical assistants help physicians and nurses with patient care. They help them with scheduling appointments, drawing blood, pressures, reparations, temperatures, and performing other routine patient pre-examining procedures. Sometimes they help with office and clerical tasks. Medical assistants work in hospitals, clinics, and private physician offices.

Average Salary: $17,000- $18,000

Educational Requirements:    

Students should take complete high school with courses in biology, physical science, office management, communications, and human relations, although medical assistant training programs may accept GED certificates. Medical assistant training programs are provided by community colleges and for-profit technical training schools. They may take six months and two years to complete.

Reflection: I wouldn’t really like to be a medical assistant. It sounds not so interesting because you’re only helping the doctors and stuff.
