"Having been a medical assistant for several years now, I have learned several administrative and clinical skills. Some of the clinical skills I've learned are specimen collection and transporting, obtaining EKGs, and assisting with wound care. There are so many things that a medical assistant can do and I look forward to seeing where I will be a good fit within your facility."
