Work Environment
Medical secretaries usually work 40 hours a week, Monday through Friday, during regular business hours. However, some may be required to work extended hours one or two days a week, depending on the physician's office hours. They do their work in well-lit, pleasant surroundings, but could encounter stressful emergency situations.
