Medical Assistants are Integral in Healthcare
A clinical medical assistant is a healthcare professional that assists physicians in offering patients the utmost care. From taking medical histories to checking patient vital signs and collecting lab specimens, these professionals help the healthcare industry run smoothly and efficiently.
When you become a certified clinical medical assistant, you become a critical part of the healthcare field!
For instance, you might work in a hospital emergency room when someone comes in with a bad cut on their hand. Once they have been assigned to an exam room, you would be the one to take their blood pressure and other vital signs and document these in their chart.
After the attending ER doctor has examined the patient and stitched them up, you may then be asked to phone in prescriptions for an antibiotic and pain medicine to a local pharmacist. You may also speak with the patient before they are discharged to ensure they understand proper wound care and answer any questions they may have.
Why We love Healthcare
“Medical Assistants play an integral part in healthcare…you're invaluable to patient care!”
- Grant Aldrich, Founder at Preppy

Why We love Healthcare
Why We love Healthcare
Did you know that the healthcare industry is one of the fastest growing industries worldwide? And steady growth means job security!
This growth is primarily due to an aging population that will soon require even more medical services. And with this greater demand comes an increased need for clinical medical assistants.
As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, so too will the diagnostic tools and treatment options that become available. With these emerging services, the role of clinical medical assistant will become even more important in the coming years.
Just how fast is the clinical medical assistant field growing?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (https://www.bls.gov/), employment of clinical medical assistants is projected to grow 23% between the years 2018 and 2028. This growth rate is much faster than the average for all other occupations. How cool is that?!
