I have an associates degree and am required to complete CMA courses provided through the office

Fairly secure because I feel like I work hard, but technology is starting to lower the number of jobs
needed in this field.

6. What potential for growth is there in your field?

(growth potential)
You can always grow, but that would require more schooling to become a nurse or something along that
lines and I am not sure if I want to do that.
7. How many years have you worked in this field?
I have worked in this field for 3 years.
8. What is the most rewarding part of working in dermatology?
I like helping out and making people feel comfortable. It is always good to have a patient leave happy.
9. Was this your initial job goal?
I knew I wanted to be a caretaker and this was one of the options available to me with the amount of
schooling I had completed.
10. Do you genuinely enjoy your job?

I do enjoy my job and learning from Dr. Trynosky. It can definitely get stressful at times, but its
worth it.
