Medical Secretaries

Exploring This Job

The best way to learn about this career is to speak with an experienced medical secretary about his or her work. Create a list of questions in advance, such as what their education and training background is and what advice they have for people interested in this field. Ask your school counselor to set up an information interview with a medical secretary, or arrange a tour of a medical facility so you can see secretaries in action. You might also be able to land a part-time job at a medical office, which will allow you to obtain experience and interact with medical secretaries.
