Medical assistants have been described as health care's most versatile, multi-faceted professionals. Medical assistants perform a variety of administrative and clinical tasks to keep health care delivery settings running smoothly. The duties vary from office to office, depending on office location, size and specialty. In small practices, medical assistants are usually "generalists", handling both clerical and clinical duties. Those in large practices tend to specialize in a particular area.
