I think your information is good, however,I've found other opportunities in the MA field as well. I learned casting at one clinic and typically in urgent care an MA gets to do phlebotomy often. Quite frankly, there are many good opportunities for MA's out there who want a change from strictly patient care. I find your information to be very helpful!
