Medical Assistants greet patients in medical offices, clinics, hospitals or where they help doctors with examination and treatment. They give shots and medication and run routine lab tests such as urinalysis and blood counts.

Assistants instruct patients about medication and self treatment. They prepare treatment rooms for patient examination and sterilize and arrange instruments and equipment used in treatment and diagnosis. They check office and lab supplies and keep the waiting, consulting, and examination rooms neat and orderly.
