Day #35

Medical Assistant

Duties and Responsibilities:
Medical Assistants help physicians and nurses deliver patient care. They schedule appointments: take blood pressures, respiration, 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 courses in biology, physical science, office management, communications, and human relations, although medical assistants 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.
Do you think you would like to be one?

I don’t think I would like to do this because of the pay.
