What Is The Job Outlook In BC?
Medical administrative assistants
The majority of new job openings will result from retirements. Individuals who have completed related post-secondary studies, have good knowledge of computers and software applications, and have previous experience working in the occupation will be in high demand. The increasing use of electronic medical records (EMR), which is replacing paper-based record systems in many offices, requires that medical secretaries stay current with technological developments.
Most employers now require the completion of a Medical Office Assistant, or related certificate or diploma program. Inexperienced workers who have not completed post-secondary studies related to this occupation will likely have more difficulty finding work.
