Hello Jacqueline, I’m a medical assistant! Here in my state we use medical assistants in the hospitals. Most of us work normal 40 hour weeks. Monday-Friday 8-5pm. Urgent cares you can work three 12 hour shifts and be done for the week. Hope this helps!

Jane’s Answer

Medical assistants don't generally work in hospitals. Usually they work in clinics (ie family or specialty doctors) or urgent cares, which are the closest you would get to a hospital. Some urgent cares are connected to hospitals too. If you work in a clinic, it's the usual 8-5 M-F, but for urgent cares, the shifts tend to be 12 hours. Some urgent cares might be 8-5 M-F too.

If you're interested in hospitals, then I'd probably considered working as a nursing assistant or volunteering!
