Certified medical assistants deal with the public directly, so they need to be dependable, great communicators, active listeners and efficient problem solvers. Since certified medical assistants handle numerous clients' health records throughout the day, they should also be well organized and able to multitask effectively with attention to detail.
Most full-time certified medical assistants work a regular 40-hour week. Some work part-time, evenings or weekends.
Certified medical assistants perform administrative and clinical tasks under direct physician supervision. Physician assistants examine, diagnose and treat patients under a collaboration agreement with a physician, who may or may not be on-site.
The duties of a medical assistant vary from one practice to the next and may be limited by state laws. Responsibilities vary from office to office, depending on location, size and specialty. Administrative duties may include the following: answering phone calls, greeting patients, updating and filing patient medical records, scheduling appointments, billing and more. Clinical duties may include the following: taking medical histories, collecting and preparing laboratory specimens, explaining treatment procedures to patients, drawing blood, taking electrocardiograms and more.
Medical assistants are one of the most versatile allied health professionals. They are cross-trained to perform clinical and administrative responsibilities.
