From October 17-22, Plaza College joined medical professionals around the country in celebrating Medical Assistants Recognition Week. Dozens of medical assisting students, faculty, and administrators gathered for events to honor students in this important major!

On Tuesday during College Hour, special guest Georgina Marte from Health Professionals NYC Urgent Care Center spoke to students about professionalism, diversity, communication, and expectations for externship students. Afterward, students and faculty enjoyed a Zumba session with a fitness instructor from Lucille Roberts.

Evening students were celebrated on Wednesday, when Dean Dolla spoke in the Commons about how medical assistants around the world make a difference in healthcare and the RMA exam. She was joined by Dr. Anderson, who spoke about professionalism, diversity, and the importance of first impressions. Finally, Plaza’s new Career Relationship Manager Alpa Patel shared the story of how she used her MA degree as a foundation to work in a variety of medical facilities while successfully pursuing her bachelor and master’s degrees.

College Hour on Thursday brought a fun round of medical bingo with prizes as well as a raffle! The week also included stations set up on the Commons for health and wellness awareness about diabetes, high blood pressure, and diet and exercise. Students were able to have their health checked and to pick up MA pins, pens, and notebooks.

Thank you to everyone who helped recognize our fantastic MA students!
