Shelby Harrell

Before joining the Urgent Care Cure team, I was an aspiring Anesthesiologist Assistant with a degree in Biomedical Sciences from the University of North Florida. While I had gathered some medical experience prior to working at Urgent Care Cure, my experience there as a Medical Assistant and front desk receptionist was unique and exceptional. I had a cohort of amazing coworkers and was able to grow my medical knowledge and experience exponentially.

I attribute my success to gaining entrance to an Anesthesiologist Assistant program at Nova Southeastern University with being a Medical Assistant and front desk Receptionist at Urgent Care Cure. It empowered me to learn so many things in medicine, work with an amazing team, and see patients directly benefit from the care they received. I am excited to take all that I have learned into my future career, and I am happy I was able to make some friends along the way.
