I agree with all of Nia's suggestions. I do, however, note that your interest is in becoming a medical assistant; there are many types of medical assistant. OT assistant is only one type. I would suggest that you contact OT assistants working near you and google OT assistant to get a more complete idea of the activities of an OT assistant to make sure that these activities are of interest to you
