                “Though I graduated from an associate degree program, I felt that my instructors provided me with the same theory and knowledge as those students completing their bachelor’s degree program in clinical laboratory science,”   Mishak said.

“When I started my clinical rotations at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, I felt that my formal education at DCCC prepared me to succeed at every challenged that I faced. Since I was the among first MLT students to rotate through WFUBMC, I think this strong foundation in laboratory science enabled me to dispel many of the preconceived ideas about MLTs regarding their education and what they are able to do.”

Chris Mishak, who earned a degree in Medical Laboratory Technology from DCCC in 1998, is the second MLT graduate from DCCC to be accepted into physician’s school.

In August 2011, Mishak will begin studying at Emory University in Atlanta to become a physician’s assistant.

He says DCCC prepared him well to transfer to Winston-Salem State University, where he earned his undergraduate degree in clinical laboratory science in 2004. Since then, he has worked in the lab at Children’s healthcare of Atlanta.

“I learned pretty much everything that I needed to know about laboratory science at DCCC. Many of the clinical applications that I learned there I still use today either in my medical volunteering in phlebotomy or in the duties of my current job, which includes training new technologist on cell identification,” said Mishak.

It is pretty easy to be successful in school. If students work hard and honorably, it’s not Student success statement difficult at all. All students need to do is study, put in the time, it’s as simple as that. If students aren’t willing to study now, it will be very difficult to develop this habit later on. Therefore, I suggest that students work hard in their studies and at being good people, doing nothing to get them in trouble during high school. By doing so, they will enjoy success during high school and throughout their lifetime.

If students work hard during high school, complete all assighments on time, and demonstrate a bright, positive attitude toward school, learning and other people, then they could be highly successful as a high school student and qualify for academic scholarships also. All they need they need to do is put in the time, study time. All the hard work and effort during high school will definitely pay off. They will be rewarded for their hard work.
