Good for you, Kristl. I do believe that you are on your way to a meaningful career. Trust me when I tell you that the people in that position can make a huge difference in how a patient feels about coming to the doctor's office. If you are generally concerned about putting the patient at ease, taking and recording accurate information, and treating the patient as you would want to be treated, it will come through loud and clear.

It is never to late to continue your education. My husband went on to get his second Masters Degree in his 60's.
