A medical assistant is a professional who performs both administrative and routine clinical tasks in a medical setting. Medical assistants commonly work in physicians' offices, outpatient clinics, hospitals, assisted living facilities and private and government-run health centers. While many of a medical assistant's job duties focus on the administrative and clerical needs of their facility, these professionals frequently take on clinical responsibilities as well, like assisting medical practitioners during routine clinical exams.
