Medical Assistants in Washington State: Demographic, Education, and Work Characteristics of the State’s Medical Assistant-Certified Workforce
Abstract
Medical assistants (MAs) are a rapidly growing and increasingly important workforce. High MA turnover, however, is common and employers report applicants frequently do not meet their needs. We collected survey responses from a representative sample of Washington’s MAs with certified status (MA-Cs) to understand their demographic, education and employment backgrounds; job satisfaction; and career plans.
