Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 1 MAS 002 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Two Sides of the Work
Captions available
The idea
Medical assistant work has two sides, clinical and administrative, and many medical assistants do both in a single day.
In practice
Some positions lean clinical, rooming patients and helping with procedures; others lean administrative, running the front desk and the schedule; in a small office one person may cover both.
Where people slip
Whichever side you work, the same patient record and the same privacy rules apply.
