The Day-to-Day For a Clinical Medical Assistant
Clinical Medical Assistants often work directly with physicians, helping with patient examinations, or provide injections or medications as directed. They must always follow the orders of their superiors and perform their duties in accordance with state law. In laboratories, their duties may involve preparing blood samples and performing other routine tasks to support the facility’s operations.
A Clinical Medical Assistant in NYC can expect to work primarily in a clinical setting, in which their duties may vary from one facility to another or one state to another. Their responsibilities may include conducting laboratory tests, sterilizing instruments, preparing patients for medical imaging, changing dressings, or drawing blood.
A Clinical Medical Assistant can also work for a specialist, such as a podiatrist or an ophthalmologist. Their duties can range from basic patient care to assisting in surgical procedures.
