Why a career in Medical Assisting?

Medical assistants and medical office professionals are expected to have good job prospects for the foreseeable future. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, medical office jobs are slated to grow 29 percent by the year 2026, much faster than the average for any other occupation.

The demand for medical assistants is high and growing every day. Medical assistants play a vital role in the healthcare industry and these roles are expanding in a variety of ways.

As the baby-boomer generation ages and the demand for medical services intensifies, physicians will hire more assistants to perform routine administrative and clinical duties, so they are able to see more patients. In addition, hospitals are now opening up new satellite clinics and are in desperate need of more medical office professionals.
