Question on jobs for MAs

elkpark · Apr 23, 2013

I've been in and around all kinds of hospitals for many years, and I've never seen an MA working in a hospital. Doesn't mean it couldn't be possible, but it's certainly not common.

I am also a MA and I have worked in hospitals and Dr.'s offices. I personally feel Dr. offices are more demanding and would not do a full-time in a office where you have most of the responsibility. maybe per diem (if you can) at a hospital that way you can do as much or as little hours and go to school.

I'm not sure how much work experience you have, but if you're just looking for MA work here is a quick run down. If you've never worked in healthcare before, you might want to intern at a few places for a couple of months to start a network going. Try to choose an office that has a specialty that you're interested in such as cardiology. If you have experience working in a hospital environment in things such as billing and coding, dictation, unit secretary, ekg you can apply to nearly office that you have the most relevant experience in. i.e. ekg=cardiology office.
