I recently graduated from a tech school and received a diploma as a Medical Assistant. I submitted apps. to local hospitals in hopes of obtaining employment as a Patient Support Tech. Can you tell me, in detail, what the job duties include? Thanks. I...

Thank you

Thus thats why I asked a question. DUH!!

Keep telling yourself that...it might come true

An RN does not take the exact courses that a resp. therapist would, from beginning to end. A medical assistant takes the CNA course SIDE by SIDE with the students taking the CNA course. Everything. It's just that a Med. Asst. continues and learns mu...

It's irrelevant as to why I'm applying for it. I was making a response to your remark about not being qualified to do the work because I dont have a CNA cert., but one that supercedes it. And my analogy about a nurse not being qualified to work in a...

You are absolutely correct!!

Very well said!! I agree with you 100%

The Medical Assistant that you've spoken to doesn't necessarily represent ALL MA's. I recently graduated from a MA program and it took me 1 year, full time, to get my diploma, as does most students. And to answer your question about why not get into ...

I recently graduated from a local tech school and received a diploma for Medical Assistant. I don't think I'll have much luck finding employment in a physicians office due to my age. Im a male, 55 years old. I am hoping to work in a hospital setting ...

Thank You!
