Part of your clinical assisting duties for a general medical
practice may involve performing basic tests for vision and
hearing. You may also assist the doctor in providing treatment
related to the eyes and ears. You will be expected to
know the basic structure and function of these organs and
to advise patients about general eye and ear care and concerns.
Specialized examinations and treatments for the eye
and the ear are discussed in Chapter 41 under ophthalmology
and otology, respectively. |
