Doctors offices of any kind whether it be a specialist or a general health practice hire MA's. These days telehealth is also a growing filed that will hire MA's. MA's do different things at different praactices depending on the doctor or specialty you work for. Sometimes hospitals do hire them as well, however most hospitals term it PCA (patient care technician) which ultimately does the same functions of an MA minus using the administrative side that MA's are required to learn. MA's can be responsible for all kinds of tasks like checking vitals, drawing blood, doing injections, data entry,

As a physician, I work with medical assistants every day. They are a vital part of the healthcare team. Medical assistants prepare rooms for patients, gather information about the patient, take their vital signs, and keep a physician up-to-date with what’s going on in the clinic. Being an MA is exciting and fulfilling!

There are many options for medical assistants. I did my externship in dermatology. My first job after getting my diploma was at an outpatient behavioral/mental health facility assisting psychiatrists. Over the last year I worked as a float with a large medical center. This is a good way to find an area/specialty that you like. I worked in podiatry, allergy, endocrinology, and neurology.

Medical assistants take the place of the nurse in many surgeon's offices. They take vitals, help room patients, and assist with procedures.
