 Medical Assistants assist in the examination and treatment of patients under the direction of a physician or other health care practitioner.  A Medical Assistant’s scope of practice includes both administrative and clinical responsibilities and may vary from state to state.  Medical Assistants must be knowledgeable and possess skills in medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, medical law and ethics, pharmacology, and medical office administrative procedures.  A Medical Assistant’s clinical skills include vital signs, phlebotomy, electrocardiography, point-of-care testing, medication administration, and more.
