Medical Assistant Career Training in New York City

Be a GREAT Medical Assistant

1) Be a Good Employee
Being a good employee means being a good person. You should be patient, attentive, courteous and reliable. Good companies know that those values cannot be learned in any curriculum, or on the job training. They must be within you before you work for them and not only are they the most valued characteristics to find in an employee, they are also the most rare.

2) Pay Attention and Follow Instructions
Always complete assigned tasks as asked or told. If you do not understand something, or have additional questions, seek answers from either supervisors or co-workers.

3) Get To Work On Time
If you are going to be late, call and let your supervisor know. If you need to miss work, try to make supervisor aware ahead of time or be sure to call if you are going top be out sick.

4) Be Eager To Learn
If you are presented with an opportunity to learn something new, take it, you might just be surprised with what you get out of it.

5) Take What You Have Learned and Apply I
One of the most important things is to be able to take what you learned from one task, and be able to do it again, except better and more efficiently and then apply that to another situation.

Enhance Your Career With Additional Training

As a professionally trained medical assistant, you already have a complete understanding of wound dressing, bandaging, and splinting techniques, treatment of injuries related to temperature such as burns or prolonged exposure to cold, and first aid measures for poisonings, burns, bites, stings, and allergic reactions. While these skills are invaluable to patients, health care facilities, and physicians or supervisory personnel, imagine how much more service you can provide once you have completed your cross training as a nurse technician.

Once your nurse technician training is complete and you are assigned to the supervision of a licensed nurse, you will be responsible for direct patient care and your newly assigned duties will vary within the range contributing to the health, safety, and comfort needs of the patient. Some of the additional responsibility may include: pushing, pulling, lifting, or transferring the patient.

Manhattan Institute offers flexibility in class schedules with day, evening, or weekend classes, prompt email responses, and a staff member available to answer questions 7 days a week. Please click here for additional training currently available at Manhattan Institute.
