Secretary Jobs

A Secretary in the medical administration industry, also known as a Medical Secretary, administers the day-to-day operations of healthcare facilities. They are responsible for managing patient records, scheduling appointments, handling correspondences, and carrying out administrative duties such as billing. They often act as a liaison between the doctor and the patient, and hence need excellent interpersonal skills. Their role also demands strong organizational abilities, proficiency in relevant computer applications, and a comprehensive understanding of medical terminologies.

Before becoming a Medical Secretary, a person may have experience in roles such as a Receptionist, an Administrative Assistant, or a Medical Transcriptionist. As for qualifications, they typically need a high school diploma or equivalent, although a certificate or associate degree in a related field is often preferred. Some individuals may also choose to earn certification from organizations such as the American Association of Medical Assistants or the National Healthcareer Association, which demonstrates a commitment to the profession and can enhance job prospects.
