Work Experience
Medical Assistant
Family Foot & Ankle Associates of Maryland - Olney, MD October 2015 to February 2024
A podiatric medical assistant's duties include keeping a record of the patient's medical history and vital signs, explaining treatment procedures to the patient and answering any questions the patient may have. More hands-on assistance may entail helping elderly patients take off and put on their shoes and move around the exam area, preparing the patient for a procedure by giving a foot bath and clipping their toenails, and bandaging the patient's feet. Many assistants are required to take and develop x-rays of the patient's legs, ankles or feet, cast for orthotics and apply fiberglass casts to the ankle or foot.
Medical Assistant
Foot & Ankle Specialists of the Mid-Atlantic - Silver Spring, MD November 2014 to October 2015
As a podiatrist's assistant I worked in doctor offices or health care facilities under the direction of a podiatrist. You'll help doctors examine patients who complain of various concerns, including ankle sprains, ingrown toenails or skin conditions. You could also assist podiatrists with patients suffering from complications related to diabetes or obesity. To assist doctors with their diagnoses, you might develop and expose x-rays, take patients' vital signs and record their medical history. You may assist a podiatrist during surgery and provide patients with the directions they are to follow once they get home. You may also be required to make impressions, or castings, of a patient's feet. Scheduling patients' appointments and assisting with diagnostic medical coding in patients' charts may also be a part of your job.
