 Day in the Life
Medical assistants
work in well-lighted, clean environments. They constantly interact with
other people and may have to handle several responsibilities at once.
Most full-time medical assistants work a regular 40-hour week. However,
many medical assistants work part time, evenings, or weekends.
Medical assistants may
advance to other occupations through experience or additional training.
For example, some may go on to teach medical assisting, and others
pursue additional education to become nurses or other health care
workers. Administrative medical assistants may advance to office
manager, or qualify for a variety of administrative support occupations.
