Tinikia Easter earned her聽Medical Assistant certificate聽at our聽Aurora, Colorado Campus. Once she graduated, she enrolled in the聽associate degree Heath Care Administration program. Now, she is on pace to graduate in 2023 with her聽Bachelor of Science in Health Care Administration.
鈥淚 worked in home health care for many years but when I moved to Colorado my license wasn鈥檛 recognized, so I enrolled in 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚聽Medical Assistant (MA) program. When I started my classes, I began to doubt my decision because everyone looked so young and I thought I might be too old to learn. But, my instructor encouraged me and really helped me believe in myself. Both the classroom and聽externship experience聽prepared me for my profession. I was hired as a traveling MA. I went with a doctor to nursing homes, rehab centers and assisted living facilities and I loved it! Today I am working as an MA 2 for Centura Health in their OB/GYN department where I am a preceptor. I also serve on Centura鈥檚 Diversity, Equality and Inclusion board.
Since my goal is to move into management and even eventually run my own clinic, I completed Pima Medical鈥檚聽Health Care Administration (HCA) online program. At first, I was nervous about how to manage working full time while going to school. But, when other students further along in the program shared their strategies, I was able to set up a system that worked for me. I enjoyed my classes and they helped me see the other side of management. I recently started聽the Bachelor of Science in Health Care Administration (BSHCA) program聽and who knows, I might just keep going on to a master鈥檚.
I recommend Pima Medical to everyone! They care and go above and beyond to help their students. I wouldn鈥檛 be where I am today without them.鈥�
Whether you鈥檙e looking for a聽ground campus program or one of our 100% online programs, it鈥檚 time to聽get started聽on your health care career journey.
