First Steps in Medicine: Jonathan's QMG Story

Jonathan F. aspires to become a doc­tor, but before tak­ing that next step, he want­ed to gain first­hand expe­ri­ence in the med­ical field. His role as a med­ical assis­tant at Quin­cy Med­ical Group (QMG) pro­vides him with just that.

After grad­u­at­ing from Quin­cy Uni­ver­si­ty in 2023 with a pre-med degree, Jonathan joined QMG as a float­ing med­ical assis­tant in pri­ma­ry care, allow­ing him to gain a broad under­stand­ing of the health­care field. In May, he tran­si­tioned to Dr. Adam Rey­burn​’s inter­nal med­i­cine prac­tice, where he plans to remain until start­ing med­ical school.

Jonathan’s deci­sion to pur­sue a career in med­i­cine was dri­ven by his desire to make a dif­fer­ence in peo­ple’s lives.

“Being able to meet strangers and learn their sto­ries and life advice allows me to impact their lives and enhance their med­ical care, all while estab­lish­ing friend­ships with peo­ple I nev­er would have met if not in my cur­rent posi­tion,” he said.

His aspi­ra­tions extend beyond becom­ing a physi­cian; he hopes to return to the Quin­cy area to serve under­served and rur­al com­mu­ni­ties, stay­ing close to his family.

“I plan to attend med school and become a physi­cian. I would love to come back to this area to con­tin­ue pro­vid­ing care for under­served and rur­al com­mu­ni­ties while remain­ing in close prox­im­i­ty to my fam­i­ly,” he shared.

Every day, Jonathan strives to make a pos­i­tive impres­sion on those he encoun­ters. He sees every inter­ac­tion as an oppor­tu­ni­ty to connect.

“I love the impact that I am able to make on peo­ple’s lives,” he said. ​“I do my best to ensure that those I meet remem­ber me for my humor, kind­ness, and empa­thy. My awe­some cowork­ers and providers make me love com­ing to my job every day.”
