Becoming a medical assistant is a perfect way to gauge your future career opportunities, as the infographic points out. As a medical assistant, you will be working for a physician or other medical practitioner performing administrative and clinical tasks in doctor's offices, clinics, surgery centers, hospitals and outpatient centers. The exact duties vary by state law and depend on your training but it is a good way to gain experience and narrow the focus of future education and career opportunities.

Generally, the tasks of a medical assistant involve various clinical duties, drawing blood, EKGs and minor surgical procedures. Administrative tasks generally involve scheduling appointments, maintaining patient medical records and patient billing. The educational requirements vary in length from 1 to 2 years; most states require a two-year associate degree program but there are less intensive certificate programs that will get your foot in the door.

Training can be obtained through community colleges, vocational schools and other medical training facilities. This is where the infographic and TopMedicalAssistantSchools.com really comes in handy. Many of the courses can be taken online and include medical terminology, record keeping, clinical procedures, first aid and CPR. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average salary for a medical assistant can range from $24,000 to $33,000 a year.
