Medical Assistant?

Question

I'm in college and my mayor is Medical Assistant. I want to know how much you are going to get paid when you start working as a Medical Assistant?

Answer 1

Salaries depend on the location of employment and the size of the business. Also they are commensurate with qualifications, responsibilities and experience. Small towns and small offices tend to pay lower wages. Although much remains to be done regarding the comparatively low hourly wages and lack of benefit packages the medical assisting career remains a great field to enter into for a variety of reasons.
Certified Medical Assistants generally receive higher salaries and more benefits than those without certification credentials.
Single doctors' offices, especially specialty physicians often pay more than hospitals.
Medical assistant salary range surveys indicate that the average monthly salaries for entry level medical assistants currently range from $1,600 to $1,760 net per month.

Answer 4

Baby 13 must be thinking of a physician's assistant. That is a registered nurse who has been through extensive training or a physician's assistant program. These are people with a masters degree or very extended bachelor's degree. A medical assistant goes to a trade or technical college for anywhere from 10 months for a basic diploma to 18 months for an associates degree. Either way, the median pay is around $9-10 and hour to start and sometimes less.

Answer 5

Medical Assistant Pay Per Hour

Answer 6

Depends on where you live and the cost of living. I went to a trade school, and started off at a private family practice which only paid $14 an hour, then I moved to a hospital/clinic and started at almost $17. I've been working here for about 3 years now and get paid $20.

If I were you I would become a nurse. Once you start working as an MA, you'll want to go higher and be nurse so you might as well do it now since you're still in school.

Oh and stay away from Trade Schools where you can't move your credits to a University or State college. It's a waste of time.

Answer 10

opinion: They pay very much it is a trend to go into a medical field. One of my family members heard their pays. Since someone in my family is a caring proffesional. Although, their is some indication that things may go overseas. Yahoo has done a report other day on it. So possibly other fields outside of medical field may have some deserving attention as well. In any case good luck on your endeavors whatever you decide to do.
