Hello Casandra,
While I may not be a Medical Assistant (MA) myself, I frequently collaborate with Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) who have transitioned into this role in search of a different environment. In my region, there's a plethora of fast-track programs available to become a medical assistant. However, an emerging trend I've noticed is a hiring preference for those with an EMT certification.
If you're seeking more stable hours, you might find the medical assisting field particularly rewarding. EMTs often thrive in this area due to their proficiency in patient intake questioning, blood pressure measurement, and rapid task transitioning.
Another aspect to ponder is your comfort level with daily travel or office changes. If you're teamed up with a doctor who operates in multiple locations, you might find yourself traversing across your state, which could extend your commuting time.
Remember, every step you take towards this career path is a step towards a rewarding future. Keep going, and you'll surely excel!
