Duties and Responsibilities:
Medical assistants help physicians and nurses deliver patient care. They schedule appointments; take blood pressures, respirations, temperatures; and perform 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 complete high school with courses in biology, physical science, office management, communications, and human relations. Medical assistant training programs are provided by community colleges and for-profit technical training schools. They may take between six months and two years to complete.
Reflection: I would not like to be a medical assistant because it seems more of a average job than an actual career. By looking at their yearly salary, we can assume that they are paid at minimum wage.
