“Having my degree in Medical Assisting has allowed me to be a step ahead of other students. I’ve been able to gain experience in the field and also draw blood, which other students have not had the opportunity to do. I am thankful for my time at Plaza, because of the close-knit relationships I have developed. My professors still check in with me to see how I am progressing!”
