Did you know that being a medical assistant makes you the doctor’s right hand? Who can work without both hands? No one! Not only does a medical assistant help the doctor with the clerical duties in the office but also they perform medical procedures such as prepping patients to see the doctor and for any procedures that need to be done. This saves the doctor’s much needed time in their daily schedule. Freeing up the doctor’s time will allow them to see more patients in a day.
Medical assistants perform regular clerical duties like scheduling, chart preparation, answering calls, making and collecting payments and insurance claims, and keeping patients charts updated.
