Workshop: E4 - Medical Assistants: The Different Hats They Wear and How They Can Impact Efficiency

This workshop will be held on Tuesday, June 28th from 11:15am to 12:30pm in Houston/Kansas.

Would you like to explore various models of health care delivery for your School-based clinic? Would you like to view how productivity can increase by changing the model? Are your immunization rates not quite at the level you want them? Attend the session on Medical Assistants, the Different Hats They Wear to possibly answer some of these questions. An overview of the education, knowledge, and skills of a Medical Assistant will be discussed. The varying roles that a Medical Assistant can have in a school-based clinic will be presented along with the outcomes of this expanded role. Improvement in staff satisfaction for both the Medical Assistant and the care provider was noted. Active participation will be encouraged to facilitate networking and discovering how others have utilized the Medical Assistant in their SBHC.
