La’Shai Calhoun, a student in P.I.T.’s Clinical Medical Assistant program, is a shining example of success. Thriving in the hands-on approach, she quickly gained a strong foundation in essential skills such as phlebotomy. Her immersive classroom experience prepared her well for the medical setting and her externship at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

La’Shai attributes her success to the practical nature of the coursework, which provided her with a solid foundation. However, she also acknowledges the vital role of the externship in bridging the gap between the classroom and the real world. Guided by her supportive preceptor at Children’s Hospital, she has honed and applied her skills effectively in real-life situations.

Lauded for her professionalism and compassionate patient care, La’Shai’s seamless transition from the classroom to the hospital exemplifies the success achievable through P.I.T.’s Clinical Medical Assistant program.
