Employment Outlook
Employment of medical office professionals is projected to grow 19 percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations. The growth of the aging baby-boom population will continue to increase demand for preventive medical services. As a result, physicians will hire more assistants to perform routine administrative duties.
