Program testimonial:
Teresa, a first generation Latino to attend college, was taking general courses at Muskegon Community College. She was just about to give up on her studies when she became aware of a pathway into health care, the Medical Assistant Apprenticeship program. She applied, was accepted, and is now working for Trinity Health Medical Group.
“This program has changed my life,” said Birkman. “I’m a hands-on kind of person, so being able to immediately apply what I’m learning in the clinical setting is perfect for me. I can’t imagine doing anything else.”
