"Completing my externship is easy. I use the skills I learned in my classes everyday in the Dr.'s Office. From blood pressures to insurance, medical records to electrocardiograms - DEC has given me a well-rounded education. I absolutely love the field I've chosen!"

The one thing that I found special about DEC students is that when they come to Mon Valley Hospital they come prepared. Douglas Education Center has instilled good values in their students. A lot of the larger school's don't do that because they don't have the personal touch that the students at DEC have."
