As a child, I remember my mother would bring me to the doctor’s office every other week for minimal reasons, such as a simple cough or a headache.

As I got older, I realized my mother and I grew in different settings. She was raised in a Vietnamese village, where access to treatment and health care education were limited and overlooked.…

“A medical assistant may practice in the United States without either certification, but most employers today require at least one certification” (Adams, 2014).
