Why doctor should become a medical assistant

I came to this country as a doctor from Vietnam. I have two kids to take care of and I was not ready to take the USMLE. I found out that as an MA I can earn while I learn the USMLE. It took me about six months to become a medical assistant. I worked during the day and studied at night. Thinking back, I was working at a physician\'s level eventhough my title was MA.
This was a great experience.

If you are a foreign doctor and need money to support your family and time to study the USMLEs, medical assistant is a great way to go! Contact with patients is crucial to your doctoring skills.
