American Institute was the first school I could truly be myself. I have learned so much from my instructors. I'm confident that I'm leaving the Medical Assistant program with all the knowledge I need to succeed out in the field. I know I will be a great medical assistant because of the program and instructors here at American Institute. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone. I'm sad to leave because it feels like home, we are a big family here. Ms.V, Ms.Keyonna and Ms.Tara are the best MA instructors ever! I'm proud to be a student at American Institute and I will forever be grateful for this program and the people I have met. -Michelle Capicotto (MA Program)

My girlfriend went to American Institute for the phlebotomy course and was super nervous but her amazing teacher Ms. Nicole not only made her feel calm and ease, she is so motherly, strong, and super knowledgeable in her studies. Throughout the semester, she ended up passing her final with a 94 top of her class! Ms. Nicole is a beacon of light in this program and I'm so thankful that my girlfriend and American Institute found someone so inspiring as her to teach phlebotomy and I hope she stays for years to come. Good teachers are the backbone of this country.
