The other challenge is to know if the cost is justified by the potential benefit gained.
For Kay Thoma, who was seeking a shift in careers a few years ago, it was a perfect job because she wanted to work someplace where she could help people. “It’s a wonderful team environment,” said Thoma. “I love being a certified medical assistant (CMA) and working with other CMAs at ThedaCare. We work so well together; it’s almost like we know what each other is thinking. Everyone is ready to step in whenever you need a hand. No one says, ‘it’s not my job,’ – they just pitch in and get things done.”
