At 43, Debra Kallenback of Wakefield, never imagined herself going back to school, let alone into the medical field. However, after Service Merchandise closed its doors, she found herself at a crossroad. After careful review of many Medical Assistant programs, Debra chose to enroll at the Medical Professional Institute in July of 2002, due to its small class sizes and facility appeal. She immediately excelled in all of her theory and laboratory classes. Debra had her clinical externship at Woburn Medical Associates in Woburn, MA., and received perfect attendance throughout her classes as well as her externship. After graduation in March of 2003, she immediately found employment working for Medical Professional Staffing at Health Quarters in Haverhill, MA. Debra is exceeding their expectations as a "new grad." Debra hopes that with more experience she will be able to work as an office manager for a medical facility and she loves her new career!
