I initially thought of working at family practice , but after the externship experience I chose to apply for Internal Medicine . I like my job , I interact with very kind patients . It is busy environment , patients arriving one after the other , MD orders vaccines , EKG , then you have the administrative part , phone calles, sorting documents for MD to review or sign , faxes , etc .

Great video! I'm starting my A.A.S in Medical Assisting in January. I have lots of experience in other fields (government, education, prior service military) and my bachelors degree, but starting this program is making me nervous and anxious mostly in a good way. I'm not sure how I feel about drawing blood and giving injections, though. Where can MAs work where that isn't necessarily something that is done too often? I don't know maybe I'll feel more confident after school but it just seems like it's too easy to mess up!

I'm the opposite. Looking for a place where I can give shots and draw blood. I think wherever you go don't do obgyn or family medicine because you would give vaccines and shots on a daily basis

I want to do medical assistant ... am so shy and it’s pushing me back. Also I have family members who are medical assistants and they are always complaining about the doctors

Me too. I’m mostly scarred about the classes and being kicked out because of grades. I was never great in school. So I’m nervous about it.

You use gloves when you’re cleaning everything but you don’t use gloves when you are preparing anything, even dressings and needles. What is that? Thanks for the insider view of a day in the life of an MA. It’s what I’m working towards.

I'm 23 and I'm just now planning to attend the summer program to be a Medical Assistant. It's never to late to acquire an education and better yourself. Forget those nay sayers, they can mind their own business and continue to do the same thing that they're doing. While you, are trying something different and progressing yourself and in life. It's never too late to try something new. Time is something that we'll never get back. But regretting what we didn't do in that time is even worse. Go for it! 30 and all!
