M, Willy’s niece, is now working as a medical assistant in a nursing home in London. It’s quite a change for her, as she worked as a personel manager in a factory in Taiwan before. That’s actually where I got to know her, when Willy and I spent a month in Taiwan last 2005. We were in Taichung City for IVF treatment, and although the treatment wasn’t successful for us, the friends we made there are invaluable, and the 30 days we spent there bonded as closer as a couple.
M told us that she took an online medical assistant course at St. Augustine School of Medical Assistants before heading off to London. She looked up medical assistant schools, and decided that online was the best option for her. She told me that her online studies only took a couple of months and she received her degree. And her papers were processed super fast, because she was a previous overseas contract worker and had a good record. I’ve talked with her a few times since then, and she says her work there is very interesting. She is naturally caring and sweet, so the nursing center’s residents love her, the staff is pleasant, and the work load just enough. She sometimes takes in overtime work though, because she says she wants to fill her empty hours. The other medical assistants, being that they have family nearby, want to spend time with their family. M says she will just combine all her sick leaves and vacation leaves to take a longer vacation with her family here in Manila. More can be read at…

Dreaming Of A Medical Profession

Did you ever think of pursuing a different course when you were still in college? On my part, I never thought that I would took up an engineering course since I always wanted to be part of media, art and a lot of social activities. But nevertheless, my engineering course is something I am most proud of. Just imagine surviving your five year college life with all math and science subjects not to mention other major subjects too. Honestly, I am always fascinated of medical courses. I remember when I was younger, I always say that I’ll become a doctor, a surgeon actually. But after learning that I need to spend more than eight years, I decided not to pursue it.

Now I am glad that there are medical assistant schools that we can choose from.I remember my husband-to-be during our early years of courtship enrolled for a medical assistant course for additional skills. Though he didn’t put into practice his learning, I know that someday, when it’s time to move in a foreign land, he can apply for a medical assistant position.

St. Augustine School of Medical Assistants at www.medassistant.org provides online classes for medical assistants and related healthcare professions. They provide a comprehensive program that is nationally accredited and certified.
