I am looking for a healthcare career change, looking for some advise, what would you recommend I do?
Hi! My name is Ari and I am a lead medical assistant in an oncology clinic, and I have been a MA since 2017. I have done everything from back of the house to front of the house to running the floor and managing other medical assistants. I am currently in school and hoping to get into the radiology tech program. However, I am looking for a back up in case I do not get into the rad tech program. I do not want to go into nursing. I am currently working in an oncology clinic and I love it! I love being so hands on with patients and I also love being outpatient. Right now, I do a little bit of everything, I go to leadership meetings, I plan schedules, I preform audits and checks, I also work hands on with patients, getting vitals, drawing blood, preforming EKG's and assisting in in-office procedures. I have also worked in primary care, background of doing all of the paperwork (prior authorizations , physical forms for school, death certs, VNA requests, ect), drawing and administering injections to patients of all ages, triage phone calls, call patient with results, preform in office testing such as random glucose, lipids, INR, mono, flu, strep, EKG's, spirometry testing. I have also worked in settings where I check in the patient (making sure insurance is correct) and checking patients out (booking follow up appointments, booking appointments with outside locations then following up after appointment and getting notes) Overall, very confident in a clinical setting. I am wondering what a good next step would be job wise. Background, I love oncology, I think its fascinating. We give patients chemo and I report to a reaction if we have one, and I think that as scary as it can be it is so interesting to see how a person reacts to certain treatments and what labs are elevated once we get the results. I also love getting to be a part of my patients journey and they know they are not alone and we are here for them every step of the way. I love the clinical aspect of my job, not so much the admin side. In my current job, I manage multiple tasks and work well alongside other disciplines (admin, nursing, PA/MD, palliative, social work, ect) I am very task driven (I like have a to do list!). I work in a fast paced environment, with constant moving parts. I am able to adapt quickly and effectively. I work well under pressure and I mentioned reactions above, those are moments when we need to think on our feet and make sure our patient is safe. I enjoy rolling out new projects to better the experience for patients and staff. I am also in the healthcare field, studying to stay in the healthcare field but sometimes I wonder if I should just make a drastic move to something like medical billing and coding (drastic but still close to my roots, haha!) or something non medical? But I wouldn't know where to start, I always thinking coding but that sounds too vague. Sorry for the rant, it just feels like for the first time I don't have a clear path and there are too many moving variables right now. It is really stressful time for me. Thank you so much in advanced for your help!

What's a good major to pursue if you have an AA degree in Health Sciences General Studies and you enjoy subjects involving English/Writing?
By 18, if I work hard enough, I should have an AA degree in Health Sciences General Studies, though now I'm wondering if I still want to pursue a career focused entirely on health. I've always struggled with math, which as I've found is quite involved in this field, making me reconsider my decision to pursue a health-focused career. Now, I'm focusing on my interests in writing, English, debating, and things of that nature. I'm now wondering if there is a major that could lead to a career involving both my health skills and my current interests. #general #health #professionals #english #writing #creativewriting #linguistics #journalism #debating #communications #opentoideas #career #healthcareer #liberalarts #professors
