Reviews & Testimonies

I’m so happy that I found Idaho Medical Academy when I made the decision to go back to school! I’ve completed both the Medical Assistant program and the Phlebotomy Technician program, and both were amazing.

If you want to become a Medical Assistant, Phlebotomist, or EMT, I definitely recommend Idaho Medical Academy. They will do everything they can to help you succeed.

If you are still looking on what MA/phlebotomy program is the best in the treasure valley your search is over! I now have graduated, passed my test, have a job and still have employers calling for interviews.

To help students be successful, if your employer requires a national phlebotomy exam for employment, a National Phlebotomy test preparation is included in your course.
