If nurturing is second nature to you, and you are interested in such health sciences as anatomy and physiology, you may be a candidate for a career as a 医疗助理. Medical assistants work in a variety of settings that include hospitals, private doctor’s offices and outpatient clinics. Their duties range from drawing blood and handling other bodily fluids to doing administrative tasks. With additional education and certification, 医疗助理s also can pursue related careers as health information technicians, assistants to pharmacists and nursing assistants.
Most 医疗助理s typically graduate from a postsecondary education program, such as those offered at Fortis. Although there are no formal educational requirements for becoming a 医疗助理 in some states, employers may prefer to hire assistants who have completed these programs. The program at Fortis is designed to teach hands-on skills in classroom, laboratory and externship settings so they graduate ready for an entry-level position. Some Fortis grads also return to school later for more education to enter nursing or another 医疗 specialty such as surgical technologist.
