Brittany Salinas and Pima Medical Institute were great resources for well-trained medical assistants. They pre-screened medical assistant new graduates and alumni they referred for positions at BioReference Laboratories and GeneDx for EMR data entry typing speed and accuracy, patient HIPAA privacy and customer satisfaction etiquette, and phlebotomy skill. Graduates were considered for BioReference Laboratories' specimen processor needs, laboratory adminstrative assistants / medical receptionists positions, as well as for specialized phlebotomist opportunities. Candidates that were submitted for phlebotomist roles had excellent letters of reference from respected hospitals in the Houston, Texas area where they did their externships. I greatly appreciate the talent pipeline Pima Medical Institute created to meet employer needs and look forward to continuing to work with Brittany Salinas and Pima Medical Institute on other contract assignments.
