Basic understanding of clinical tasks

In addition to the administrative responsibilities required on the job, medical assistants should have a basic understanding of clinical tasks. Understanding of patient care, procedures, medical terminology, tools and clinical pharmacology are desirable skills for medical assistants to have. Additionally, many employers offer continuous on-the-job training so employees can continue to build upon their clinical skills.

Excellent interpersonal skills

Medical assistants interact with patients and staff members daily, and they rely on their interpersonal skills to successfully build relationships in the workplace. The ability to connect and empathize with patients is necessary to provide quality care and clinical service.

Ability to communicate effectively

Effective communication, in writing and conversation, is necessary to perform effectively in a medical assisting role. Transcribing messages, entering patient information into databases and recording patient information are several examples of written communication skills that employers commonly require medical assistants to have. Additionally, actively listening and the ability to verbalize ideas and make suggestions are traits that can demonstrate effective communication skills.

Familiarity with digital record systems

Technical skills and some familiarity with electronic filing systems can be fundamental to performing as a medical assistant. Typically, a medical assistant is responsible for inputting patients’ medical data into their facility’s electronic records system and keeping the digital files organized and updated. While medical assistants can learn this skill on the job, employers generally prefer candidates to have some background with these technical applications.
