Interpersonal interactions in the everyday working lives of medical assistants often impose high socio-emotional demands on them. In order to prevent overload and stress situations, medical assistants should learn how to cope with these requirements effectively whilst they are still trainees. The article uses a trainee questionnaire to investigate the extent to which companies providing training address the topics of interpersonal relations, good communication and dealing with emotions within the team, and the degree to which this correlates with training satisfaction.
