Success Story

Cheryl Peck Professional Medical Assistant

 

Cheryl Peck
Program:
Medical Assistant
Campus: Harris School/Cherry Hill
Externship: Internal Medicine, Cooper Health Systems

As a mom heading back into the work force, Cheryl had to choose her next career path wisely. "I chose the medical field because of the job growth potential. When I enrolled with Harris School, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported a 59% growth for the Medical Assistant field."

 
 

Cheryl's balancing of school and family was hard work, but once she got organized, school came easy to her. She maintained a positive outlook and stayed on top of her work to maintain that balance."I can honestly say that a lot of what I do on a daily basis was covered in my classes at Harris."And Cheryl got just the kind of real world experience she wanted: "I was able to get an externship at my number one choice, Cooper Health Systems. My externship was in one of their internal medicine offices and it led to a job offer the week after I graduated."

What Cheryl says about Harris School: "I have benefited tremendously from the education I received from Harris School of Business. My nine months at Harris not only helped me attain a great job, but made a better future for my family."
