“The Institute of Technologys’ PMA program has greatly assisted me in commencing my medical career. I’d like to not only thank IOT, but additionally express my gratitude towards my PMA instructor Ms. Megan for not only pushing each and every one of her students to become the best, but also providing us with the knowledge, skills, and training. Within my 9 months in the program, I not only acquired clinical and administrative skills, but I was able to gain knowledge on how to portray excellent patient care and rapport. I am now working at an Urgent Care at 3 different clinics in California. Thank you Institute of Technology and Ms. Megan!”
