Medical Assistant
Duties and Responsibilities:
A medical assistant is responsible for verifying a patient’s information by interviewing them, recording their medical history, as well as confirming the purpose of their visit. They also would prepare the patients for examination by performing physical tests, taking the blood pressure, weight, their temperature, and reporting the patient’s history summary. They do work in offices of physicians, podiatrists, chiropractors, and other health practitioners.
Salary: $29,375 per year
$14.12 per hour
Education:
They would have to have taken a post-secondary educational program. However, there are some offices that would only require a high school diploma. They must also have general knowledge in biology, chemistry, and anatomy.
Reflection: i would not like to be one because they get paid very little and i would rather be the doctor rather than the assistnant
