Medical assistants are health professionals who support the work of physicians and other health professionals, usually in a clinic setting. Their responsibilities can include both administrative and clinical duties.  Depending on the type and size of the facility, what state, certifications available and the laws affected by where they work, medical assistants can play a variety of roles.

Karen, one of our ECE instructors said, "My students and I wanted to share that today, we learned all about the importance of Orange Shirt Day and how we can be supportive allies to the parents and children from the Indigenous culture. We had a lot of tears and secret sharing moments for tonight's class."

Orange Shirt Day (September 30th) is about honouring the Indigenous children who were sent away to residential schools in Canada.
