MEDICAL ASSISTING

You can become a Professional Medical Assistant in 9 short months. Make a difference in the lives of others. Be on the front-line, helping patients maintain or regain their health.

Medical assistants handle routine administrative and clinical tasks in support of physicians and healthcare professionals. These tasks are typically performed in doctor’s offices, family and other specialized medical practices, clinics, urgent care facilities, and ambulatory care centers.  Medical assistants work alongside physicians and are cross-trained to perform back-office clinical duties, front-office administrative duties, and patient education.

Specific duties of the medical assistant include:

  • Recording patients’ medical history, vital statistics, and information such as test results in medical records.
  • Preparing treatment rooms for patient examinations, keeping the rooms neat and clean.
  • Interviewing patients to obtain medical information.
  • Measuring patients’ vital signs, weight, and height.
  • Authorizing drug refills and providing prescription information to pharmacies.
  • Cleaning and sterilizing instruments and disposing of contaminated supplies.
  • Preparing and administering medications as directed by a physician.
  • Escorting patients to examination rooms and preparing them for the physician visit.
  • Explaining treatment procedures, medications, diets, and physicians’ instructions to patients.
  • Helping physicians examine and treat patients, handing them instruments or materials and performing such tasks as giving injections or removing sutures.
  • Collecting blood, tissue and other laboratory specimens, logging the specimens, and preparing them for testing.
