Compassionate people who enjoy helping others are great candidates for a Medical Assisting career! Can you see yourself wearing scrubs and a stethoscope, working as part of a medical team? Or how about working as a Phlebotomist drawing blood for different kinds of medical laboratory testing?
Medical Assistants work with doctors and other healthcare professionals to provide quality care for patients. They take vital signs, draw blood, and perform lab tests. They also file patients’ medical records, fill out insurance forms, answer telephones, and schedule patient appointments.
