How many hours does a medical assistant work daily?

Medical assistants work an average of 37.5 hours per week, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, the actual number of hours worked may vary depending on the employer, the type of practice, and the individual medical assistant's schedule.

Some medical assistants may work a standard 8-hour day, while others may work longer or shorter shifts, including evening and weekend hours. Some medical assistants may also work on a part-time or temporary basis.

In general, medical assistants' hours are determined by the needs of the practice and the patients. They may be required to work additional hours during peak times, such as during flu season or when the practice is particularly busy.
