Medical Assistants mostly employed by the federal government are credentialed to practice. As part of their comprehensive responsibilities, their nature of work is promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative aspects.

After registration with The Board, they were appointed by The Public Service Commission Malaysia before they are deployed by Ministry of Health all over the country. Those qualified Medical Assistants will be able to functions at all disciplines in the hospital or health setup. Q How did the Medical Assistants profession begin? A Far as in 1950 Medical Assistants was at one time known as dressers. Then it was changed to Hospital Assistants (1970) and Medical Assistants since (1985). Before 1971 the training of Medical Assistants were done together with nurses which then the curriculum was changed to certificate level. Due to the needs and fast growing development towards professional health care personnel the training of Medical Assistants was upgraded to Diploma Level in 1992. Q What areas of medicine can Medical Assistants work in? A Medical Assistants are found in all areas of medicine. Until 30 November 1999 there are 6136 Medical Assistants registered with the Board (running registration). Only about 4500 MAs are actively practicing both in public and private sector. From the actively practicing only 10% MAs are practicing in the private sector. Today, about 30% MAs from public sector are practicing in over 300 Health Clinics all over the country, involve in primary health care services. At the hospital base, they are deployed at all specialized units, training as well clinical management base. Q Where do Medical Assistants "draw the line" as far as what they can treat and what a Medical Officer can treat?

A What a Medical Assistant does varies with training, experience, and the existing Act and Regulations imposed. In addition, the scope of the MAs practice corresponds to the supervising Medical Officers and Specialist practice. In general, a Medical Assistant will see many of the same types of patients as a doctor did, especially in rural health services. The cases handled by a doctor are generally the more complicated medical cases or those cases which require care that is not routine part of the MAs scope of work. Referral to the Medical Officer, or close consultation between the patient-MA-M.O, is done for unusual or hard to manage cases. Medical Assistants are taught to "know our limits" and refer to the Medical Officer appropriately. It is an important part of MAs training.
