Breana Garcia gladly shared her experience transitioning from being a new graduate to becoming a vital part of the TrueCare family. Her advice highlights the importance of finding an organization that believes in your potential from day one.

[H3] What is it Like to Start a Medical Assistant Job as a New Graduate?

When Breana first applied to TrueCare, she was a new graduate, and like many starting their careers, she was worried about being trusted with a fast-paced role. She was thrilled when TrueCare looked past her lack of experience to see her potential.

“Basically, TrueCare’s QuickCare department is my first job. I am a recent grad, so I thought it was pretty cool that they accepted me here because a lot of places don’t really have trust in recent graduates. They see it as taking a chance on somebody. I graduated in May 2024 and started working in September or August of 2024, so I’ve been here for about a year so far, and it’s been a pretty awesome experience. I’m really happy,” smiled Breana.

Breana also had some great insights to share about the interview process.

“The interview was in person. I was happy about that because I thought it was going to be through Zoom. They were very nice, sweet, understanding, and honest with me, and it made me want to be honest with them. It’s not something you should be intimidated by – it’s something you should be excited about,” smiled Breana.

As for expectations, she said that TrueCare was very upfront about the role, which was a refreshing change of pace in her job search.

“It was really clear what the position was going to be like and what a culture fit would look like. They told me that there was going to be a lot of change in this department, and they were right. It’s never the same, and there’s something different every day,” said Breana.

While the start was a “bumpy road,” Breana found that the combination of patience and a supportive team allowed her to quickly master the role – especially as a recent graduate. Now, she encourages all new graduates to keep going, sharing her own experience.

“The biggest tip I could give for someone who just graduated and wants to enter the health care field is to not give up. I know it’s hard for us new grads to get a job, but that’s how I was. It took me like seven or eight interviews to find this job. So don’t give up, always stay positive, and keep going. Don’t be negative about things. I know it’s hard, and it’s going to always be hard in the beginning. The start of a journey is usually paved with a bumpy road. But you’ve got this, and I know you do because I did it,” said Breana.

[H3] Why is Community Health Care Important to You?

Breana’s passion for health care is deeply personal and mission-driven and stems from a deep-seated passion for helping low-income communities, aligning perfectly with TrueCare’s values of community service.

“I really like helping out the low-income community. I come from a low-income household, so that’s something that means a lot to me. I like helping people who can’t really afford health care. I just really love helping people, and that’s why I’m in health care. I do want to be a nurse one day, so that’s a goal I’m currently pursuing as well,” said Breana.

Breana said that working in community health care is the best way to pursue her goals of helping people and making a lasting difference.

[H3] How Fast-Paced is the QuickCare Environment?

If you’re looking for an environment where you can learn quickly and see the direct impact of your work, TrueCare offers just that. Breana describes the pace as challenging but rewarding, especially when she sees the tangible results of her team’s efficiency.

Still, she said, even if working in a fast-paced environment is new, you can rest assured that you will have a team behind you getting you up to speed.

“When I started working here, I was pretty slow-paced, so I feel like my team really helped me get faster, and they’re just very understanding and appreciative of everything. I feel like I have the hang of it now. I even told the person who interviewed me that I’m pretty slow-paced, but I told them I’d get the hang of it, and they believed in me. Now, I’m in and out with my patient – like, it might take 5 minutes to room a patient, whereas before it might take up to 10 minutes. I’m really proud of that progress. We’re always giving each other shout-outs, so that motivates us a lot, too,” said Breana.

Breana said that her department, in particular, is more fast-paced than others.

“It’s very fast-paced here compared to other departments because we float around sometimes when they need us to. I like offering help, especially with adults, and over there, it’s very slow. They have, like, 30-minute appointments, whereas here, we have 15-minute appointments. Even the patients are like, ‘Oh my god–it’s so fast,’ and I’m just like, ‘Yeah, it’s called QuickCare,’” laughed Breana.

[H3] What Makes the TrueCare Team Special?

Breana’s experience underscores one of the cornerstones of the TrueCare employee experience: a culture of support, appreciation, and growth. She credits her team with helping her grow into a confident, fast-paced MA.

“My team here, I really love working with them. We’re really like a big family – we support each other when we need help and celebrate each other when we are doing well. They’re really understanding and fast-paced, but even when everyone is moving so fast, it’s incredible that no one really gets left behind here,” said Breana

This culture extends beyond daily work and feels more like a genuine connection.

“We’re always checking in on each other, and we ask about our families and plans for the weekend. It helps us get through hard days. I’m also part of the Patient Growth & Retention (PGR) committee, so it’s my job to make plans and organize potlucks and that kind of thing. The committee is kind of responsible for boosting everyone’s energy in a way. It feels good to support the people who have supported me so much,” said Breana.

[H3] What is the Most Important Skill for a Great Teammate at TrueCare?

Beyond being fast and skilled, Breana highlights one crucial quality that makes the difference between an average team member and a great one: taking initiative.

“I would say just taking initiative is one of the most important qualities here – it’s what you need to have to be successful within this organization. It’s hard to take initiative sometimes, like if it’s not your patient and you feel like it’s not your job to do something, or you can’t do something, but it’s important that you take the initiative anyway. That’s what I do – that’s what we all do. I’ll tell my manager that I can help a patient for someone, for example, if they can’t, or if they’re having trouble, or if they’re backed up with patients. Just stepping in and being like, ‘Hey, do you need help?’ makes a huge difference. I’m not going to make a big deal about it, and it’s not a problem for me. We’re here to work and help each other out, you know? That’s an important attitude to have here,” reflected Breana.

[H3] What Are the Career Growth Opportunities at TrueCare Like?

Breana has clear goals: she wants to become a nurse one day, and TrueCare is actively helping her build the foundation for that future. Her current role as a Medical Assistant has served as a vital learning environment.

“I’ve learned so much so far as a medical assistant, especially since it’s my first job, and I can just tell that it’s going to help me in the future once I pursue my nursing career. I do work with a nurse here as well, so I get a lot of compliments from her telling me, like, ‘Oh, you’re going to be great,’ and that helps a lot, too,” said Breana.

Breana said that she has learned not to be too hard on herself, and her managers have created a positive feedback loop, which has helped her gain a lot of confidence in her career.

“If I could give myself advice a year and a half ago, I’d tell myself, ‘Don’t be too hard on yourself.’ It was really hard in the beginning. I had a lot of anxiety. Of course, I still do get a little anxious here and there, but not nearly as much as when I started. I really thought I wasn’t fit for the position. But I realized I am. You just have to be patient with yourself and understand that you’re here for a reason. If you need to take a break, take a break. It’s OK. You’ll learn a lot, and you never stop growing. My teammates and managers also make comments about how much I’m growing and improving, and that feels good. I thought I was the only one who was seeing that. It motivates me to continue improving,” said Breana.

Breana is excited about her path forward within the organization and sees plenty of opportunities for growth and advancement.

“I’m excited to grow my career with TrueCare. I think I will stay here for a while. I can’t really see myself leaving. I really like working at TrueCare, and when I started working here, I didn’t think I was going to stay. It was probably because I was a recent graduate, and it was frustrating because I didn’t even understand my own ways of working, but now I do, and I can say I couldn’t be happier, and I don’t see myself leaving,” said Breana.
