As an online medical assistant instructor, you help teach a virtual class of students about various aspects of healthcare and clinical work. In this role, you may search the internet for resources, help plan lessons, and participate in live or recorded videos for the class. Working as an assistant online instructor is relatively rare, though some schools hire assistants to help with particularly large classes. Online medical assistant instructors usually work from the same place as the primary instructor, which may be a classroom at the school or a location in a medical facility, such as a lab.
