I work at a pediatric clinic. I take the vitals, I provide breathing treatments to any patients that may need them, I schedule appointments. My instructors at Fortis College some were very, very helpful; they were very driven and they were very inspiring and encouraging. My education from Fortis has allowed me to be more knowledgeable about health and to pay attention to smaller things in life.
Ashlee M.
I am a medical assistant at a cardiovascular office and I enjoy working with the patients and the doctors and being able to help in any way that I can. I chose to come to Fortis College because it was actually recommended to me from another medical assistant that I know. Career Services was actually wonderful. They did help us throughout the program. They helped us to set up interviews during the program and after we graduated.

My instructors were really awesome, really nice, really helpful, too. If we didn’t understand something they would help us like if they saw something that we were struggling they would come to us and help us out. Fortis education has made a big difference in my life because I didn’t really expect going this high, this level, and I actually am really glad I have made it this way.
