Our schedules are also beneficial to someone that has a busy schedule but also wants to further their education.  

 Choosing a healthcare career is a significant decision that requires thoughtful consideration. Here are some key factors for students to ponder when embarking on this path: 

 1. Commitment to Serving Others: 

Ask yourself if you genuinely want to dedicate your life to serving others. Medicine is about making a difference, saving lives, and improving well-being. Passion for contributing to society is essential.

2.  Education:

Understand that entering the medical field demands substantial education. Here at UHTA we lay the foundation of healthcare for you to build upon. Continuous learning is also necessary to maintain a medical license or certificate.

3.  Salary: 

While medical professionals often earn high salaries, consider other factors. Salaries can vary based on factors like location, education level, and specialization. Also, many professionals start their careers with student debt. Remember at UHTA we keep our tuition affordable and offer payment plans.

4.  Lifestyle: 

Medical professionals lead busy, sometimes unpredictable lives. Stress and work overload are common. Consider whether you’re prepared for the demands of this profession
