In this profession, there are three types of medical assistants: Administrative, Clinical, and Specialized. Let’s talk about the differences in these specializations.
- Administrative
The primary responsibility of an administrative medical assistant is managing the front desk operations of a healthcare facility. They also serve a role that requires them to provide customer service when working with patients, as well as administrative support for medical facility staff, allowing their team to provide care to patients. - Clinical
The role of a clinical medical assistant is similar to that of an administrative assistant, but their responsibilities lie more on the clinical side of healthcare. Clinical assistants work more one on one with patients, assisting in exams. There are still some administrative tasks but the focus is mainly providing direct care to patients. - Specialized
The responsibilities of a specialized medical assistant depend on a few factors: your area of specialization, the size of the practice and the size of your healthcare support team. Specialized training allows you to work more directly with patients and physicians. You may choose from a number of specialty fields, including family medicine, OB/GYN, Pediatrics, and Oncology.
Medical assistants are in demand
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment of medical assistants is expected to increase by 23% by 2028, making it one of the fastest-growing occupational industries.
