What do medical assistants do?

Medical assistants perform both administrative and clinical tasks. These duties may vary depending on location, size, specialty, and state law. The duties may include but are not limited to, the below-mentioned roles and responsibilities.

Administrative duties

They perform administrative tasks like answering phone calls and emails, handling bills and correspondence, bookkeeping, scheduling appointments, filing and updating records of patients, welcoming patients, using computer applications, etc. A person is required to perform these administrative tasks as doctors do not have time for routine administrative tasks.

Clinical duties

Clinical duties of a medical assistant include assisting the physician during examinations, collecting and preparing laboratory results, taking electrocardiograms, wound care and changing dressings, performing basic laboratory tests, instructing patients about medication and special diets, preparing exam rooms for patients, transmitting prescription refills, etc. These are some important clinical tasks that assist and support the doctor and the other medical staff.
