Hire a medical assistantLooking for a job?An assistant who is calm with patients, keeps the rooms ready, follows hygiene rules and the doctor's instructions and records what is needed, so the doctors see more patients without rushing.
We check how the person works with patients and with the clinical team, and which duties they have actually performed.
Which tasks a medical assistant may perform, and whether the title needs a licence, depends on the current DHA, DOH or MOHAP rules and on your facility licence. Confirm the scope with your medical director and the regulator's current guidance before you write the job description, and consider whether a licensed assistant nurse is the right role for the duties you need.
