What is her job title?


I went to the doctor today (Obstetrician) and a lady who I've always called the nurse called my name from the waiting room, took my weight, led me into the room, and asked the regular questions... What is her job title? Is she a doctor's assistant?
Thanks!

She is a Medical Assistant.
The take vitals, patient history, etc.,

This is usually a certified position and training can be received at a Vocational College. She is not a nurse.

a clerk.

She could be one of many different licensed professionals., or even an unlicensed administrative person Not generally a nurse practicioner, registered nurse, nor a medical or physician's assistant. Those are generally higher positions.

she's probably a registered nurse ...most Dr.'s have their own but in bigger practices they might share nurses depending upon patient ratio

Most likely a medical assistant. Calll the doctor's office and simply ask.

Probably a nurse.
