What does a Certified Medical Assistant do?
Medical assistants are health care professionals who assist doctors in clinics, medical offices, and hospitals. They may show you to the exam room, take your vital signs, and check your height and weight. Medical assistants will ask about your symptoms and health concerns, and pass that information on to your doctor.
Even though medical assistants work directly with doctors, they can’t give medical advice to patients. Their duties are limited to collecting information and preparing the doctor and patient for the medical visit.
