Student Success Statement

"If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work."

Duties and Responsibilities:

Medical assistants help physicians and nurses deliver patient care.  They schedule appointments; take blood pressures, respirations, temperatures; and perform other routine patient pre-examining procedures.  Sometimes they help with office and clerical tasks.  Medical assistants work in hospitals, clinics, and private physician offices.

Average Salary:  $17,000 - $18,000

I wouldn’t want to be a medical assistant because it doesn’t seem too appealing to me
