Army Medic Turned Physician Assistant
During their lifetimes, most people will work in one profession. Some will have two different kinds of jobs.

While Fleming doesn’t anticipate a fourth career change in his life, he does know that one day, he may explore some of the other clinical areas where PAs practice outside of primary care.
