Medical Assisting Career Field

In 2004, medical assistants held about 387,000 jobs, according to the BLS. And that number is expected to grow much faster than the average through the year 2014 because of the number of baby boomers that will eventually seek medical care. In addition, medical assistants are becoming more in demand, specifically where increasing technology is concerned. So those who understand the latest technologies and have attended medical assisting schools are most likely to find jobs.
