Specific duties vary from office to office depending on the location and size of the practice and the practitioner's specialty. Administrative duties include answering telephones, greeting patients, scheduling appointments and laboratory services, updating and filing patients' medical records, filling out insurance forms, and handling billing and bookkeeping. Clinical duties include taking medical histories and recording vital signs, explaining procedures to patients, preparing patients for and assisting the physician during examinations, collecting and preparing laboratory specimens, sterilizing medical instruments, instructing patients on medications and special diets, preparing and administering medications as directed by a physician, drawing blood, taking electrocardiograms, removing sutures, and changing dressings.\n\nClark State College's Medical Assisting Program Goal: To Prepare Medical Assistants who are Competent in the Cognitive (knowledge), Psychomotor (skills), and Affective (behavior) Learning Domains to Enter the Profession. Students who complete the first year of this associate degree program have completed the course work for and should therefore submit a petition to graduate from the certificate program. Completion of the certificate provides the student with the administrative and clinical skills needed for entry-level positions as a medical assistant.\n\nEmbedded Certificates\nThis certificate program contains one or more embedded certificates, which will automatically be awarded if the degree requirements are met unless students contact Records and Registration and indicate they do not wish to have the certificate credential awarded.\n\nTechnical Standards \u0026 Occupational Risks\nAll students accepted into the Medical Assisting program must be able to perform the essential functions of the medical assistant with or without reasonable accommodations, as well as be aware of the occupational risks associated with the medical assisting profession. The essential functions and occupational risks are linked to this program page on the College's web site and are also provided to students via the Medical Assisting Student Handbook. Students are required to sign a form indicating they have reviewed these requirements and submit it to the Medical Assisting Program Coordinator when they enter the program."},"ceterms:recognizedBy":["https://credentialengineregistry.org/resources/ce-541da30c-15dd-4ead-881b-729796024b8f"],"ceterms:estimatedCost":[{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:name":{"en-US":"Cost Profile"},"ceterms:costDetails":"https://www.clarkstate.edu/admissions/tuition-and-fees/","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"Total cost in-state: $10,781.12\nTotal cost out-of-state: $19,250.24"}},{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:name":{"en-US":"Cost Profile"},"ceterms:costDetails":"https://www.clarkstate.edu/admissions/tuition-and-fees/","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"Total cost in-state: $10,781.12\nTotal cost out-of-state: $19,250.24"}},{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:name":{"en-US":"Cost Profile"},"ceterms:costDetails":"https://www.clarkstate.edu/admissions/tuition-and-fees/","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"In State Tuition - $190.33/credit hour; Out-of-State Tuition - $352.66/credit hour"}},{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:name":{"en-US":"Cost Profile"},"ceterms:costDetails":"https://www.clarkstate.edu/admissions/tuition-and-fees/","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"In State Tuition - $190.33/credit hour; Out-of-State Tuition - $352.66/credit hour"}},{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:name":{"en-US":"Cost Profile"},"ceterms:costDetails":"https://www.clarkstate.edu/admissions/tuition-and-fees/","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"In State Tuition - $190.33/credit hour; Out-of-State Tuition - $352.66/credit hour"}},{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:name":{"en-US":"Cost Profile"},"ceterms:costDetails":"https://www.clarkstate.edu/admissions/tuition-and-fees/","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"In State Tuition - $190.33/credit hour; Out-of-State Tuition - $352.66/credit hour"}},{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:name":{"en-US":"Cost Profile"},"ceterms:costDetails":"https://www.clarkstate.edu/admissions/tuition-and-fees/","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"In State Tuition - $190.33/credit hour; Out-of-State Tuition - $352.66/credit hour"}}],"ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/17-3013.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"17-3013.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Mechanical Drafters"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Prepare detailed working diagrams of machinery and mechanical devices, including dimensions, fastening methods, and other engineering information."}},{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/17-3024.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"17-3024.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Electro-Mechanical and Mechatronics Technologists and Technicians"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Operate, test, maintain, or adjust unmanned, automated, servomechanical, or electromechanical equipment.
