Help Medical Offices Run Smoothly

Clinical medical assistants' duties can vary, depending on the location and size of the practice in which they work and the practitioner's specialty. In small practices, medical assistants usually handle administrative and clinical duties and report directly to an office manager, a physician, or another healthcare practitioner. Those in large practices tend to specialize in a particular area and work for department administrators.

Clinical duties vary according to state law and may include:

  • Taking medical histories and recording vital signs.
  • Performing basic laboratory tests on the premises.
  • Instructing patients about medications and special diets.
  • Taking patients' blood pressure.
  • Drawing blood.
  • Preparing patients for X-rays.
  • Taking electrocardiograms.
  • Changing dressings.
