Beauty and Healthcare Programs

Hear from our students

I decided I wanted to do something in the medical field but also something that would help me obtain an entry level position in the medical field. I loved my experience at Milan Institute. I loved the instructors, staff and the students. There were many times I really wanted to take a leave of absence because of the stress but, with the help of my instructor and fellow classmates I decided to not take a leave of absence and just get through it and I’m glad I did. My current job was actually my extern site and I’m glad I was hired on as a Medical Assistant. My only advice is even if you’re struggling to get things done or struggling with anything related to the program or your personal life it’s OK to talk about it to your instructor.
