if i was to work in a urologist office, what are somethings i might be doing?

Question

working as a medical assistant

Answer 1

1) Greeting patients as they come into the office is usually performed by a receptionist.

2) You can be of great help to the patient and the urologist if you properly prepare the room and the patient for a particular scheduled examination. Believe me, as both a health care provider and now a health care recipient, I can tell you that this often overlooked item performed by poorly trained people is the source of great waste of time.

3) Cleaning dirty rooms and instruments. (Somebody's got to do it.)

4) Performing and recording urinalysis results. Perhaps semen counts and other analyses.

5) Charting and filing are usually the responsibility of other personnel, but you may be asked to fill in.

Answer 2

Urologists deal primarily with mens' health issues, so you're going to see a lot of male genitalia. It's not a pretty sight.

I used to work in a urologic surgery center. The guys there did a lot of cystoscopies, which the medical assistants helped with (prepping, cleaning scopes, getting patients into and out of exam rooms)

The best thing you can do is, if you get an interview, ASK what types of things you'll be expected to do. Each practice is different. They may want you to call patients into exam rooms, and deal with charting issues, or they may want you to deal with specimens that have to go to labs, or they may expect you to assist with cystoscopies.

The hematologist pricks fingers.
