Ok so I got an interview for a medical lab assistant. I have no idea what they are going to ask me. I do not have experience in this field to such an extent. What will they ask? What do they look for? :shrug:
Most medical assistant jobs include aiding medical professionals with a number of important tasks. Medical assistants can also perform administration tasks, and some assistants even purchase medical equipment for medical facilities. The range of tasks required of a medical assistant varies depending upon the workplace. Medical assistant jobs can be found within private clinics, hospitals, and doctors' offices. Generally, those assistants hired by smaller offices will have to take on a number of different duties including filing, record keeping, and even answering phones. Larger hospitals often utilize the skills of a medical assistant during actual medical procedures. Patients often meet with a medical assistant prior to meeting with a doctor. During an initial meeting, it is the job of an assistant to weigh, measure, and record any technical patient data. In addition, assistants may administer injections, apply bandages, answer basic medical questions, perform simple tests, and take x-rays. Most medical assistant jobs require some basic education. While many aspects of this position can be learned on the job, employers tend to select applicants who have formal training. Various vocational schools offer medical assistant degrees, and candidates with this type of degree often have the best chance at securing a steady job. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...1cXRBQ&usg=AFQjCNGMJB9jSaVyYQy8vcrWdyKsG6QoSg
