Tell me about Medical Assistant jobs?
Jen J asked:
I need a career change. One of the things I was curious about is becoming a medical assistant. I’ve always liked the atmosphere in doctor’s offices and because the only time I’ve been in the hospital was to have my babies I always had a great feeling in hospitals. Even with all the trips to the ER with the kids. The description at one of the trade schools said that if you wanted to work in the medical field but couldn’t or wouldn’t be able to do “blood” which I can’t then that would be the best bet. Dealing with the admin part of the medical field. I think I might really like it. But tell me, what is the degree you get from a trade school offering “medical assistant” educational courses. Is it an associates degree or is it a ceritificate. Also, what seems to be the salary for this position, I’m sure it varies state to state but an idea. And lastly anyone in this position that can give me some feedback? Medical assistants in hospitals vs. private offices etc.?
