This field has a projected growth rate of 23 percent over the next decade, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in part because of the aging baby boomer population in need of medical services. Students will receive a significant part of their instruction in medical field experience in cooperation with local medical facilities. Administrative medical assistants are responsible for the everyday happenings in a clinical office. They use their knowledge and understanding of medical terminology and insurance procedures to act as a liaison between the patient and the insurance agency.
