Administrative Medical Assistant

Certified Administrative Medical Assistants are responsible for the everyday happenings in a clinical office. They generally work at the front desk, dealing with patients, filing medical documents and handling insurance forms. There are no formal educational requirements, and most of the training is performed on the job. However, there are programs such as this one that provide coursework and certifications which proves students' competency to potential employers. 

Employment of Medical Assistants has been projected to grow 23% from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations. The growth of the aging baby-boom population will continue to increase demand for preventive medical services, which are often provided by physicians. As a result, physicians will hire more assistants to perform routine administrative and clinical duties, allowing the physicians to see more patients.
