Lodifel Manuel, Medical and Dental Office Management Program – Nanaimo
I have been working in the food service industry since coming to Canada 11 years ago. Wanting to change my career, I attended a career fair in Nanaimo. There’s when I found out about the Medical and Dental Office Management program that Discovery Community College was offering. This program gives a wide variety of job opportunities from working in a medical clinic, to dental clinic and even to a regular office.
The program was offered in an instructor-led online class setting. The instructors were all great, and I cannot thank them enough. From start to finish, they all took the time to help us in our whole journey of the program.
Currently, I am working at Northfield Dental Clinic as one of their Administrative Assistant/ Receptionist. I did my practicum in this office as well. They were pleased with how I managed the work assigned to me in a timely manner with professionalism, effective communication, and an excellent customer service approach. Before finishing my practicum, they offered me full time employment which I accepted without hesitation. With the training and education I received from Discovery Community College, I am confident that I will be successful!
