Medical Assistant

Duties and Responsibilities: A medical assistant is there to help or support the work of physicians and other health professionals, usually in a clinic setting. Medical assistants can become certified through an accredited program usually offered through a junior or community college. They also take care of medical work and give injections or medicine.

Salary: $21,000-$37,000 a year or $12-$15 an hour

Education:  The minimum education for a medical assistant is a high school diploma. However, some states require training for those who do clinical work, and some employers prefer assistants with training or certification.

 

Reflection: I would not like to be a Medical Assistant because if I would ever go to the medical field I would like to be the doctor. Yes it would take more time but it would be worth it in the future.
