According to the American Department of Labor, the medical assistant is one of the fastest growing health care professions. I have always been inclined towards health care and therefore I decided to be a medical assistant. To become a medical assistant one should possess different qualities. But the most important quality is to be a very responsible person.
The duties of a medical assistant vary in every office depending on the specialty of the doctor. Some of the administrative duties remain the same in every office. For instance, greeting patients, answering phone calls, scheduling appointments, keep the waiting area neat and tidy, patients chart filing, and sending claims to insurance companies. Some of the clinical duties are explaining treatment procedures to patients, helping the doctor during examination on patients, performing blood test in the office, drawing blood on patients, and giving injections to the patients.
During the course of my life, I went through many difficult situations which made me a very responsible person. When I was in college, I worked as tutor for Elementary School students.

m… After coming home, I used to work on my college assignments till late night. I continued like this for 3 years and successfully managed to get my Bachelors degree in Accounting in May, 2001. After one year, I got married to De vang Joshi.
Within a week after wedding we came to America, 20, 000 miles away from India. I was surrounded with new people, different culture and a very different life style. Initially none of us had a job, so managing first few months was really difficult. As we were newly weds we had to make many compromises financially. For example, we had to avoid going to restaurants or for shopping. I didn’t know driving, because of which I had to be very dependent on my husband to go out for groceries and other home necessity.
But slowly and slowly we started to settle down, as he found a part time job and I learned driving. Then my husband decided to do further studies. Few months later, I found a job in a restaurant where I worked all seven days. This put an end to my social life. I didn’t get enough time to spend with my husband.
After coming home late night from work, I had to do the house chores. I couldn’t expect much from my husband, as he was busy with his studies. But still I managed long work hours and home responsibilities successfully. Then my husband graduated and found a good job, which reduced my work load.
Thus I had to pass through many difficult situations at the early age of life. But all the above mentioned situations in my life made me more and more responsible each day. And I still continue to be a very responsible person. This will help me to become an excellent medical assistant in near future.
