Hey Vanessa,

My advice would be to follow one for a day or two and see if you like the job. It's a tough job if you can't handle a fast pace. MA's are trained to work both clinically in the " back office" or with check in/insurance in the " front office".

Good luck!

Hi Vanessa,
I am currently taking a MA class and I enjoy it very much! It's a real interesting class. So I think it would be a good career for somebody.
