Medical
Assistant
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.
Salary: $17,000 - $18,000
Education: Students should 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 between six
months and two years to complete.
Reflection: I don’t think I would like to become a Medical
Assistant because I like more the technology field.
