I’ve been working as a Unit Clerk at Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital.  When I first started working here everyone asked me about my path to this job. No one could believe that I had no previous medical experience. Thank you to everyone at Business Skills College for giving me the skills to tackle a very difficult and complicated job with confidence.
