We understand that choosing a training program is a big decision. You probably have many questions about what the experience is really like. One of the best ways to figure those out is to hear from someone who’s already been through it.
Below is a short Q&A with Melina, a graduate of the Medical Assistant Program at Montes HealthCare College. She shares how she discovered MHCC, why she chose the program, and what she’s doing now as a medical assistant while continuing her education toward an ADN degree.

Melina Q&A
How did you hear about Montes HealthCare College?
I heard about Montes HealthCare College when I was getting my blood drawn at the Montes Clinic. Out of curiosity, I asked the woman drawing my blood how she got the job, and she introduced me to the college.
Why did you choose Montes HealthCare College?
I chose this college because it was very affordable and a fast-paced program which was very convenient for me. I knew I wanted more in my life and decided to take my first step.
What are you doing now?
As of now I am currently a medical assistant. I really love my job and love the connection I built with Dr. Ilani – it was an amazing experience working with her as she motivated me a lot to do better and knew I could advance my career. As you guys may be aware, I’m transitioning to become a full-time student and receive my ADN degree to further my education.
What did you like the most about Montes HealthCare College?
What I liked the most about Montes Healthcare College was how small the school was. Everyone was very close to each other and I loved that Ms. Branch was very attentive with me and my peers.
What is your most memorable experience from Montes HealthCare College?
My most memorable experience was definitely the time I was teaching my peers how to do certain procedures. It made me realize how confident I was with my skills and how I went from not knowing anything about medicine to teaching my peers.

My life changed tremendously, I became so confident with myself. I never thought I’d be a receptionist as I didn’t know how to speak with people. My customer service skills improved and all my patients loved me and I developed a personal relationship with them. I realize how much I love helping people and truly found my passion.
