Medical Assistant
Medical assistants complete administrative and clinical tasks in the offices of physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities. They may fill out and update medical records, schedule appointments and handle correspondence and billing. On the clinical side, medical assistants often are the people who take medical histories, prepare patients for examinations, and assist the doctor during appointments.
