It seems pretty clear that you have your heart set on working in a clinic. Why specifically, I don't know, since WHAT you want to do with your day is unclear. I would strongly suggest you get these things worked out before you spend time and money in school.

My suggestion would be to go to one of the clinics that is of interest to you, and just ask the receptionist these questions. She can either answer them herself (because it's her job) or put you in touch with the MA that is likely to answer them for you (because it's HER job).

Good luck.
