Medical Assistants are as important as physicians

Medical assistants save people a lot of anxiety and also often bridge the fear gap between patient and doctor and even vice verse. This job is extremely important so becoming a medical assistant is an awesome career choice in my honest opinion. To train for this position it's as easy as going to a good medical assisting school and having a care about the patients and the people you work with. Like any career really but with added feel good factor!

I can't count the amount of times the assistant has eased my nerves, fetched me some water, chatted with me about my day or generally been a shining star in a place I prefer not to visit!

Kudos to all medical assistants and soon to be assistants out there. You are very important.
