Ultimate Medical Academy (UMA) invited their Tampa Bay online students for a "Meet and Greet" with staff, instructors, advisors and career service professionals. Held on August 13, 2011, this was UMA's first-ever meet and greet for directors, faculty, staff and students of the online healthcare training programs. Attendees had the opportunity to mingle with fellow classmates and UMA representatives while enjoying food, fun and giveaways.
To kick off the event, Joe Piechura, UMA's director of learner services, began with a speech about what it means to be a UMA student. He remarked, "When I think about what we do at UMA every day, that's really what it is, it's really about bettering individuals."
Throughout this special meet-and-greet event, Ultimate Medical Academy captured video footage of UMA representatives as well as many students talking about their healthcare training experiences. Here are a few excerpts from attendees:
"You're entering a field that can provide job security and stability for all of you, career growth, and a bright future in a field where you're going to be helping others."
-- Derek Apanovitch, senior vice president and general manager of UMA online
"I like this online program the best because it's convenient. I'm able to take care of the kids and do what I still have to do, like work and do my studying at night."
-- Tammy Noble, medical billing and coding, UMA online student
"I love all the help that UMA has, especially my advisor. I'm able to call her. She calls me to find out how I'm doing. It makes you feel like you're not alone, even though you're at home on your computer. You know you always have some help right around the corner."
-- Darryl Gary, medical billing and coding, UMA online student
"My experience at UMA has been great. Being online is something new for me. I haven't been in school for 20+ years, and I found out a lot about myself. It's very rewarding."
-- Tracy McDowell, medical billing and coding, UMA online student
"The advice that I would give to any online future student would be: stick with it. Don't let the obstacles of life and unforeseen difficulties get in the way of your dreams and what you want to accomplish."
-- Susan Van Lenten, associate's degree, UMA online student
