Career Outlook
According to the US Department of Labor outlook handbook, the employment of medical assistants is expected to grow 23 percent from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations. MA job postings increased at least 9% each year. The growth of the aging baby-boom population will continue to increase demand for preventive medical services, which are often provided by physicians.
As a result, physicians will hire more assistants to perform routine administrative and clinical duties, allowing the physicians to see more patients.
