The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) states that in 2004, the highest 10 percent of medical assistants earned a median annual wage of over $34,650. People who wish to find a rewarding healthcare position as a medical assistant should seek out certified medical assisting programs. During medical training programs, students might take courses in pathophysiology, administrative procedures, and medical law and ethics. Also, you can receive healthcare training in administering medications and injections, patient procedures, and medical insurance claims. Graduates of medical assisting programs may find medical careers in places such as hospitals, physicians' offices, outpatient clinics, and other ambulatory healthcare facilities.
