All Things Medical Assistant
by Santino Telles
Medical assisting has become one of the most sought after and recruitable professions. In this podcast we share stories, interviews, cohosts and conversations about medical conditions, our own opinions and the life in medical assisting. In the early 90s when medical assisting first become available to medical practices, this was a very simple position entailed by answering phones, filing and minimal back office skills. Since then much has changed, the medical assistant has become the integral component of any practice. This admirable profession deserves its proper acknowledgment in the ranks.

And the verdict is...
So we’ve come along way, we’ve seen major changes. But the depth and heavy weight of ignorance is still alive. We need to remember that we are all bleeders, pain suffers and humans. We need to acknowledge our limitations. I think we need to pull ourselves back in and more about ourselves to be a...
