great job if you are thinking about starting new careers. Advances in medicine mean that hospitals and
care facilities require Medical Office Assistants with up to date training. They also find jobs in clinics and medical
centers so there are many options available to anyone with a diploma as a medical assistant. When you add the fact
that many of the baby boomers are getting older and there is more need for
people in health care the results are lots of jobs and lots of variety.
