What Our Graduates Say
Erik
“I loved my experience at Milan Institute”
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.

“It was a very rewarding time”
I decided to go back to school to better myself and help others. I enjoyed every minute of my experience at Milan Institute. I loved everything and everyone. Especially my instructor Mr. Cesa. It was a very rewarding time and time well spent. Math was difficult for me at first. I kept pushing and asking questions and took the advice of my instructor Mr. Cesa who informed me that I was overthinking. Finally, everything clicked and I maintained a 3.7 GPA from there on.
Jamie
“A positive and smooth journey”
My journey started with Milan Institute in August of 2020. I usually had a hard time in the past comprehending things in college and would become overwhelmed, but for some reason with Milan Institute it wasn’t like that. My instructor Mrs. K was a blessing. She made my course at Milan Institute a positive and smooth journey, she was very patient and understanding. Within my first week of my externship with Yosemite Bone and Joint I was offered a job. I ended up being hired on towards the end of my extern as a Surgical Coordinator. I am thankful for Milan Institute for helping me find my passion.
