Opportunities for Growth

Medical Assistants can grow into additional role levels with training! Advancing to a “Level 2 MA” incorporates more patient-facing task than just administrative - such as delivering Injections (SubQ and IM) during visits. A “Level 3 MA” will have training to administer Injections, select starting of Intravenous Therapy, throat cultures, suture removals, and other duties within licensure/scope of practice.
