Nice photo and good to see yet another MALE medical assistant in "action" in a medical office. Some decades ago this was virtually unheard of. Employers and even many admissions counselors at vocational training institutions had a certain image of what a typical medical assistant should look like--and it was not a man. It wasn't until this decade, or so, where this stereotypical thinking gradually changed and wer are seeing more men in scrubs. The medical assisting occupation is clearly undergoing transformation and accepting men in the medical assistant role. GREAT PHOTO... nicely captures the moment.
