HI Chelsea,
in medical assisting school you can expect to learn medical terminology, pharmacology, the basics of human anatomy and physiology, and clinical skills. The clinical skills will include learning how to take vital signs such as blood pressure, administering injections, and assisting with routine physical exams. Lastly, you will learn the essential skills required for medical offices such as patient scheduling and taking patient calls.

We learned everything from drawing blood (not my specialty), taking vitals, giving immunizations, running labs (finger sticks and urine labs), much of the terminology needed for a clinical practice. Truthfully, I learned more on the job and have a wonderful pediatrician that always helps me learn and tasks me with new things all the time. As long as your doctor instructs you to do something, you can do it in the office. I assist with circumcisions, stitches, burns and staples but never do that. I LOVE my job in pediatrics and started late in life her at 51 yrs.
