Student Testimonials

  • Janna Cordeiro

    My favourite part of the program has been going out and job shadowing all the different types of dental offices in town. I get to see the different kinds of job opportunities that are available and determine what kind of office I would enjoy working in after graduation.

  • Jason Rapps

    There aren’t very many MLTS programs in Canada, especially out west. Most other programs are in major cities. Because we’re in a smaller city and we’re a smaller program, we’re able to deliver a much more personal experience for our students.

  • Sara Evans-4

    My passion for helping others and creating positive change in my community is what inspired me to become a nurse. The experience I have gained in the program is very fulfilling.
