Shelbie O’Gorman – Medical Assisting Graduate, Amarillo

Shelbie O’Gorman decided to return to school to prove to herself that she could accomplish anything, despite doubts from others. Through hard work, patience, and determination, she successfully completed the Medical Assisting program at Milan Institute in Amarillo.

Shelbie describes her experience at Milan as nothing short of amazing. She credits the mentors and classmates who supported her throughout the program and helped her overcome challenges. One of her biggest obstacles was commuting from Pampa to Amarillo each day, but she stayed committed and pushed through to reach her goals.

Today, Shelbie works at Amarillo Medical Specialists, where she continues to grow in the medical field. One of her favorite memories from school was participating in mock injury simulations in the lab, which gave her valuable hands-on experience and insight into patient care.

Looking ahead, Shelbie plans to continue her education and further build her career in healthcare. Her advice to future students is empowering: “Keep your head high. One bad grade doesn’t define you—don’t let doubt stop you.”
