A Certified Medical Administrative Assistant is the front-office staff that ensures medical offices operate efficiently while also promoting a friendly and positive patient experience. While having an interest in the health care system, a Medical Administrative Assistant does not interface directly with patient care, rather they greet patients, organize appointments and provide other varying assistance.

Job Outlook
Overall employment of secretaries and administrative assistants is projected to decline 7 percent from 2020 to 2030.
Despite declining employment, about 324,300 openings for secretaries and administrative assistants are projected each year, on average, over the decade. All of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to other occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
