"I would like to thank the Manhattan Institute and its staff for all the hard work they put into my education. My medical assistant class size was small, and I really enjoyed the personal attention that the doctors gave me. I read this really great article, about medical assistant duties. I think it would be very helpful to post it on web site, or post in your school."
Thank you for your kind words.
A Former student submits this article about the duties of Medical Assistants.
Medical assistant is an unlicensed multi-skilled health professional who offers administrative, clerical and technical support to the physician. Medical assistant provides services for front office, back office and other clinical laboratory areas. Medical assisting is a versatile career for men and women.
Medical assistant provides services in the offices of physicians, podiatrists, chiropractors and other health practitioners to work smoothly. Medical assistants are not like physician assistants who diagnose and treat patients under direct control of physician. Duties of medical assistants depend on the specialty of practitioner. Medical assistants work under the control of department administrator.
They perform administrative duties like answering telephones, greeting patients, and updating patient medical records. Medical assistants play significant role in the medical offices or clinical environments. However, they don’t make any independent decisions, about the diagnosis, treatment or emergency plan of patients. They are not allowed to perform independent practice.
Medical assistants perform administrative as well as clinical duties. Their clinical duties include explaining treatment procedures to the patients, preparing patients for medical examination, and supporting physician during examination. Sometimes they perform vital laboratory tests and disinfect medical instruments. They give instructions to the patients about medications or special diets.
Sometimes they purchase medical supplies for the clinic and examining room equipments and instruments. They usually work in clean and well-lighted environments. Some medical assistants work part time, and many work on a regular basis.
