Education: Medical assistants must finish high school with physical science, biology and office management. If not they must have a GED certificate.


Reflection: I don’t think I would like to be a Medical Assistant because I am not really into the medical field; I am more into forensic work. I think Medical assistants are basic steps to majoring in a medical career.
