Occupational trends
According to the Occupational Handbook 2006-07, “numerous job openings will result from the need to
replace workers who leave this very large occupation each year. Opportunities should be best for
applicants with extensive knowledge of software applications."
Administrative assistants are responsible for a variety of administrative and clerical duties necessary
to run an organization efficiently. They serve as information and communication managers for an office;
plan and schedule meetings and appointments; organize and maintain paper and electronic files; manage
projects; conduct research; and disseminate information by using the telephone, mail services, Web sites,
and e-mail. They also may handle travel and guest arrangements.
Medical secretaries transcribe dictation, prepare correspondence, and assist physicians
or medical scientists with reports, speeches, articles, and conference proceedings. They also record simple
medical histories, arrange for patients to be hospitalized, and order supplies. Most medical secretaries
need to be familiar with insurance rules, billing practices, and hospital or laboratory procedures.
Medical transcriptionists listen to dictated recordings made by physicians and other
healthcare professionals and transcribe them into medical reports, correspondence, and other administrative
material.
Employment of medical transcriptionists is projected to grow faster than average for all
occupations through 2014.
