Lone Star College is one of the leading institutions that continues to address the growing demand for skilled, compassionate health care professionals.
"I am pursuing a career as a clinical medical assistant because the field has always interested me and I enjoy meeting new faces and having the chance to help others," said Valeria Moran, LSC-Conroe Center CMA student. "Lone Star College's CMA program prepares me to work in a hospital and motivates me to continue my studies toward a nursing degree."
