When a patient walks through the door of a hospital or medical center, oftentimes they are scared, irritated, or anxious. You, as a Clinical Medical Assistant will be the smiling reassuring face needed to get them started on their path to wellness. Your clinical duties will encompass the entirety of the pre-screening process, before a patient ever sees a doctor. It will be your responsibility to ensure the medical tools are disinfected prior to use and to prepare the examination room. Then, once the patient is placed in your charge, it will be up to you to record their height, weight, vitals, and provide an accurate recording of their medical history. This will allow the physician to properly administer care.
