Jazaria S.
2024 Medical Assistant Graduate
“After many attempts at finding schools that I could say I felt like they were right for me, I came across Penn Foster! I immediately knew that this is something that I could pursue with the upmost confidence. After talking with the administrators of Penn Foster, I felt safe and comfortable. They have made this journey incredibly smooth and very life changing for me. I appreciate Penn Foster opening my eyes to new ways to get an education.”
Kayla J.
2024 Medical Assistant Graduate
“I began Penn Foster and decided that I wanted to be in a field where I can have more patient contact and get that fulfillment of taking care of people, a Certified Medical Assistant. I finally graduated in April of 2024, and I am now employed at an Urgent Care where I work as a Medical Assistant and absolutely love what I do. I couldn’t have made this happen without the support from the Penn Foster community and my friends and family.”
