Medicine has been my life as long as I can remember. While the specializations have varied, my interest has always been into medicine - whether it was being a vet, a pediatrician, a dentist, or anything in between, my love for medicine has followed me throughout life. Throughout high school, I took multiple classes focused on the principles of health science, health theory, medical terminology, and received my certified clinical medical assistant (CCMA) certification. While I have also experienced the healthcare industry by working as a medical scribe, my goal is to become further acclimated into a healthcare and clinical environment by working directly with patients as a CCMA, and understand the different roles and functions of the healthcare team. Despite the lack of externship my CCMA program provided, I am eager to apply the practical and administrative skills I've gained into a clinical and practical setting.
