Medical Assistant:

A career in medical assisting is a recession-proof career you can get involved in with just a high school diploma. Unlike physician assistants who examine, diagnose, and treat patients, medical assistants perform clinical and administrative tasks.

Administrative medical assistants' tasks include scheduling appointments, greeting patients, and updating medical records. Clinical medical assistants' tasks include taking medical histories, explaining treatment procedures to patients, and talking to patients about medications and special diets.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, medical assisting is one of the fastest growing occupations over the next decade compared to all other occupations, expected to grow 35% over the next six years. Apply today to begin training in this rewarding career.
