Professional Medical Assistants provide quality care to patients. Medical assistants spend time with the patient going over medical history, they talk about medications currently taking, they also take the patients vitals and prepare them for the physician to see them. Medical Assistants also clean and sterilize the exam rooms, instruments and dispose of contaminated supplies. They collect blood, prepare and administer medications as the physician has requested. Medical assistants must have knowledge of treatments, procedures, medications, diets, ect. to be able to understand and interpret them to the patient. The physicians tend to explain things in medical terms and many patients do not understand everything the doctor is explaining. My targeted locations are Redding, CA, Lewiston ID, And possibly Montana. In Redding there are two places I’d love to be hired at. First is Dr. Peter Grandaw’s office. He is a pediatric Doctor for the Redding area. His reputation in our community is outstanding as a physician and also as a person. Mercy medical center is another place I would enjoy working for. Their Mission statement is strong and clear; Dignity Health and its sponsoring congregations are committed to furthering the healing ministry of Jesus. Dignity Health dedicates its resources to: Delivering compassionate, high quality, affordable health services; Serving and advocating for our sisters and brothers who are poor and disenfranchised; Partnering with others in the community to improve the quality of life. -http://redding.mercy.org/Who_We_Are/Mission_Vision_And_Values/index.htm. That is very important to me when choosing where to work. Providing high quality, affordable services. St Joseph’s in Lewiston Id is another option for me. Other options as a medical assistant
