âI wanted to be a medical assistant for the past four to five years,â said Julita Ulloa â and, as a recent graduate of the medical assistant program at Eastern Arizona Collegeâs Payson campus, she has made that wish come true.
âI actually started as a regular caregiver, no degree needed,â Ulloa said. âThen I was a certified nursing assistant before moving to medical assistant, so it just got better and better.â
She credited the collegeâs medical assistant program instructors for helping her achieve her goal, saying they wanted every student to succeed. âThey were really knowledgeable, willing to stay late in class and always open if we needed help.â
