I chose Fortis Institute because I thought it was a good school to come to because it has been so long since I have been to college, but at least here they put me in a program that I wanted to be in and I started from there.
Career Services helped me to become nationally certified while I completed my Externship. I’m so excited to start my new job in pharmarogenetics research and I couldn’t have done it without Fortis.
I came to Fortis, got the instruction that I need, got my diploma, got my certification for medical assistant - now I feel free because I am able to do more things and not feel like I am just stuck in one spot.
My children think I’m awesome. They say I’m awesome for going back to school, for working in the medical field. They enjoy it cause now if they are sick mommy can help them.
