The Medical Assistant (MA) is responsible for performing a variety of duties working collaboratively with the medical provider and care coordinators/site coordinator.
MA is part of a team creating an atmosphere that is receptive to other’s thoughts and concerns to provide compassionate care between our patients and effective communication to the staff.
The MA is involved in both the clinical and clerical duties of the practice to deliver optimal patient care services within the scope of the medical assistant's professional expertise.
The MA may provide care, which is considered routine, poses little potential hazard for the patient, involve little or no modification from one client-care situation to another, be performed with a predictable outcome, or does not inherently involve ongoing assessments, interpretations, or decision-making, which could not be logically separated from the procedure itself.
The MA must be certified and recertified in compliance with the MA’s individual certification requirement.

Market context
Certified Medical Assistant roles in Pennsylvania are commonly tied to outpatient clinics, physician offices, and other patient-facing settings, where employers often prefer candidates with prior MA experience and a current CMA or RMA credential. Competition can be stronger for roles that include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and paid time off, so applicants should highlight hands-on clinical skills and credential status.
