Patrick Fisk is a 2022 graduate of the Colorado Springs Medical Assistant certificate program. He says he loves his job and enjoys each day. Hear how Pima Medical helped him achieve his goals.
“I worked in the airline industry for a number of years and more recently, I was a volunteer firefighter and EMT. I have always been interested in the medical field, so after an injury left me unable to continue my current work, I chose to enroll in Pima Medical Institute’s Medical Assistant (MA) program. After being out of school for so long, the first day felt quite nerve-wracking. However, all of my instructors were great and I felt good doing something I really wanted to do.
My externship experience was in a very fast-paced environment but I felt very well prepared. When I was ready to find a job, I saw an opportunity on a jobs website for a kidney doctor located just six blocks from my house. I applied and they offered me a full-time position. I am able to walk to work every day and save lots of money on gas. Most importantly, I really enjoy my new job. It is a slower paced site with returning patients and the thing I enjoy most is spending time with my patients and getting to know them.
I am happy and I appreciate coming to a job I like, rather than a job I have to go to. It makes all the difference in the world. Pima Medical Institute is one of the best decisions I have ever made. It has been a life altering experience and I am so glad I did it. It has completely changed my life.
