I don’t believe that anyone is going to leave their first and last name or place of employment here or with other online sources
It’s just not safe. Perhaps you can call a hospital where they have a family practice that may have an MA and ask to set up an appointment to talk with one.
For general career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search ‘medical assistants’ or such.
Just a word to the wise that there aren’t supposed to be too many jobs for the MA (or medical biller or coder) despite what those private $$ schools proclaim
If you’re in school, hopefully it’s more affordable such as through the county vo-tech school or community college.
If interested, this site has posts from people who are unable to find work as a MA: http://www.indeed.com and can click ‘forums’ and then type into search.
