Student Testimonial

I'm Jenna, a senior at Merritt High School. I chose the Biomed program because it has helped prepare me for college and my future in healthcare. My goal is to become a CRNA, and this program has given me valuable hands-on experience. I had the opportunity to job shadow in the operating room and completed 70 hours there. The Biomed program has helped me build a strong foundation and clear path for my healthcare career.
