Duties and Responsibilities
A day in the life of a Medical Assistant can look like:
- Arrive at 8:00am to review your schedule for the day.
- Meet with providers in a morning huddle and prepare for procedures.
- Throughout the day, you will
- Room patients.
- Take vitals.
- Complete blood draws.
- Assist in procedures (like PIT, IV Therapy, ear lavages, gyn exams, minor surgeries, etc.)
- Administer vaccines.
- Give patients instructions before and after procedures.
- Perform administrative work (referrals, prior authorizations, prescription management, medical triage, etc.).
A typical situation you might run into:
We ask our MAs to triage acute scheduling situations and prescription needs. Let’s say a patient needs to be seen right away, but their PCP has a full schedule. You may need to do a little problem solving.
You’ll always find help when you ask for it, but we want you to try and find a solution first.
What might you do?
- Could you schedule with another provider who matches the patient’s needs?
- Does the provider have any blocks on the schedule set aside for acute situations?
If you’re a proactive MA interested in this kind of problem solving, we would love to receive your resume.
