A medical assistant must have good social skills, be able to manage time effectively, a degree of intelligence to pass the educational requirements, and the physical strength for the everyday challenges. While the medical assistant provides these qualities and services to improve the health of the patient, she puts herself at certain risks. These include disease transmission and psychological stresses of seeing some patients not recover and becoming too emotionally involved in others' lives. Despite the demands and the risks, the medical assistant's role is crucial for the medical office succeeding in its mission to provide quality healthcare while maintaining a profitable and ethical practice.
