Medical Assistants are often the first point of contact for patients, providing hands-on clinical care, such as taking vitals, assisting with exams, and performing basic tests, while also managing administrative tasks. In Michigan, you do not need to be credentialed to start a career as a Medical Assistant, making this a great entry point into healthcare. Many MAs go on to earn certifications like Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) or Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) to expand their skills and advance their careers.
