We are always looking for bright people who may not know about our profession and our program. If anyone knows just that kind of person. Word of mouth and accident have brought most of us here.
Please send them to our school and give them my information. You know I love to talk. And you get to be one of the cool kids!!!

I know I am told I say this to every class! Well the Class of 2019 did something that no other class has done....10/10 passed the TMC at the high cut score the first time.....I will have to check back but I believe this is the first ever! They only need 3 more to pass the Clinical sims and the same will be true for that aslo! So excited for them and the program!
