A: Two years.
Q: What does “We lead with CARE” mean to you?

Q: What does your job entail?
A: I’m the medical assistant to Drs. Reddy and Gupta. I also train the other MAs to setup bone marrow procedures, EKGs, and the overall workflow of the clinic, such as the rooming process, checking in patients and checking out patients, referrals, and handling phones.
