About
Administrative Medical Assistants should enjoy strong employment opportunities for years to come, with a projected growth in job openings expected to grow 23% through 2024 (U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics). Demand for medical services will continue to climb, as the baby boomer population ages, and as healthcare practices expand to see more patients, the need for assistants to handle administrative duties will increase.
