MU Health graduates first class from Career Institute

MU Health celebrated its first graduating class from its Career Institute in a formal ceremony Tuesday.

The Career Institute was started in 2015 as a way to combat a lack of professionals in health care. Students at the institute are trained to serve as medical assistants or neuro-diagnostic technicians.

Sue Kopfle with MU Health said the institute is good for students and the university as it advances their careers while filling positions of need within the organization.
