Mapping Your Future
My degree program at Kaplan University is Associate of Applied Science in Medical Assisting. I am taking online classes here at Kaplan.
National median salary for a Medical Assistant is around 30,550 dollars, (www.bls.gov). Depending on what state you’re in the salary will vary. For my state which is Indiana it’s around 28,800 dollars, (www.bls.gov). I am sure that being employed somewhere for a very long time you salary might rise a little.
I am not sure at this moment if I will be living in Indiana after I graduate, I have Tennessee on my mind. So I looked up both states. Indiana has a job demand for Medical Assistants as of 2012 was 11,910. As for Tennessee as of 2012 it was 13,090. I have some serious thinking to do.
Medical Assisting does not require any other certification other than the one I am doing now. Most Medical Assistants only need a high school diploma and on the job training. But a Certified medical Assistant is not offered to take for students who do the online program at Kaplan except for ( Caahep) Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Program only offered at the campus in certain states and that is upon recommendation of the (MAERB) Medical Assisting Education Review Board.

I think the job outlook for Medical Assisting is on the rise the BLS.gov website states that from 2010 to 2022 that Medical Assisting will jump 29% faster than average. Healthcare professionals will always be in need and that is one thing that is a great plus when it comes time to graduate and there are many opportunities for Medical Assistants.
Five very important duties of a Medical Assistant are keeping records of patients which includes health information like blood results or test results and office visits. Assisting doctors with treatment of the patient, such as giving injections or removing stitches. Medical Assistants preform many
