What is a Medical Administrative Assistant?

A medical administrative assistant is responsible for the day-to-day running of a medical office or other health care environment. They are often expected to prioritize multiple tasks, multitask in busy environments, and work well under pressure.

Unlike a medical assistant, a medical administrative assistant does not assist with medical procedures but is a clerical role that ensures front-line medical professionals can do their jobs.
