Medical Assistants work alongside physicians, primarily in outpatient facilities such as medical offices or clinics, performing administrative and clinical duties.
Specific duties vary greatly depending on office size, location, medical specialty and state laws. Administrative duties can include tasks such as updating and filing medical records, scheduling appointments and managing billing and bookkeeping. Clinical duties could include tasks such as preparing patients for examinations, drawing blood and performing basic lab tests, as well as preparing and administering medications or removing sutures and changing dressings as directed by physicians.
Medical Assistants help patients feel at ease, often explaining physicians’ instructions and addressing any concerns they may have.
