Unlike other medical professionals, medical assistants need only a one- or two-year certificate or diploma to get started in this field, and demand is expected to rise 23% in the next couple of years.

A typical day for a medical assistant may include:
- Gathering the patient's medical history and updating medical files
- Taking basic vital signs like blood pressure
