What this score means for Medical Assistant.

The Medical Assistant role is durable. AI is squeezing the documentation surface and some routine knowledge work, but the value-creating core remains squarely human. The right move is to use AI to take the paperwork off your plate so you can spend more time on what AI cannot do. Over the next 5 years the score is projected to drift down by 5 points based on the allied health vertical's drift rate. Quarterly recomputes track the actual change.
