List of medical assistant salaries by state

What is a Medical assistant?

Medical assistants are health care professionals who assist doctors in clinics and medical offices.

Even though medical assistants work directly with doctors, they can't give medical advice to patients.

What Does a Medical Assistant Do? A medical assistant's duties vary, depending on the office or clinic.

You may meet a medical assistant at the front desk of a hospital or medical office, or they may be the person who comes in after your exam to draw blood.

A medical assistant is a jack of all trades, streamlining important tasks to help the clinic run more efficiently.

In addition to checking vital signs, drawing blood, updating medical histories, and verifying prescriptions, a medical assistant is often the first point of contact for patients.

Nationally recognized certification exams include the Certified Medical Assistant Exam and the Registered Medical Assistant Exam.
