Medical assistants must be equipped with good communication skills. As they are
essentially the connecting link between patients and physicians, it is important
for medical assistants to develop soft skills that make the patients feel welcome
and comfortable in a place they don’t really want to be in. Interacting with patients
and their families, providing them all the information they would need in order to e
ase their apprehensions, displaying empathy and understanding the delicacies of
communication in a dispiriting hospital environment, are skills that practices
are imploring their medical assistants to imbibe and develop.
