The PHS Medical Assisting class had an incredible opportunity this week as they visited Cape Fear Community College to explore careers in the medical field.
Students toured the wide range of healthcare programs offered at CFCC and gained valuable insight into the many pathways available to them after graduation. One of the highlights of the visit was hands-on experience in stenography, where students were able to see firsthand how specialized skills play a vital role in the medical profession.
