You may have noticed that our medical assistants are sporting new lab coats. The change has been in the works for more than a year after several MAs made the request during the “Under the Umbrella” discussions with VP of Ambulatory Services Anne Horbatuck. Now the medical assistants across campus and at all off-site locations have changed from blue to gray lab coats. Not only that, they now have more options – a scrub jacket long or short-sleeved and/or a scrub top. “It sounds like a simple issue but for many it was their top one, so we’re pleased we could accommodate their wishes,” says Horbatuck.
