Medical Assisting
Medical Assistants are multi-skilled health professionals specifically educated to work in ambulatory settings performing administrative and clinical duties. The practice of medical assisting directly influences the public's health and well-being, and requires mastery of a complex body of knowledge and specialized skills requiring both formal education and practical experience that serve as standards for entry into the profession.

How do I write a literature review?
Employment of medical assistants is projected to grow 29 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. The growth of the aging baby-boom population will continue to increase the demand for preventive medical services, which are often provided by physicians. As a result, physicians will hire more assistants to perform routine administrative and clinical duties, allowing the physicians to see more patients.
The Atlanta Technical College (ATC) Library is located on the south end of the campus in building G. The state-of-the-art facility is 16,000+ square feet and features group study pods, a law library, film editing suite, electronic classroom, and contemporary display cases.
The library operates in accordance with TCSG Institutional Standards and COC criteria. It has a clearly developed purpose that complements the goals of ATC as an educational facility. This purpose is seen throughout the library and in the selection of library and learning services materials which consist of books, technical manuals, professional journals, popular periodicals, and supplements to library materials. The library provides dedicated space for its collections, computer workstations, and patron tables and chairs.
