Serena Lee, a Soldotna High School student, listens to one of more than 60 employers during a job fair Wednesday March 27, 2013 at the Peninsula Job Center in Kenai, Alaska. The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District and the Department of Labor and Workforce Development have been working with Central Peninsula high school students on resume writing, applications, interviewing skills, work ethics and employer expectations.

MediCenter’s own Aaron Lyman is captured talking with Serena Lee, a Soldotna high school student about her future in the medical field. MediCenter has a strong history in training new individuals entering the Medical Field.

Being a leader for primary care in the Kenai Penninsula enables our location to help train future Medical Assistants and staff to work to the highest ability of their license. Our major turnover is from our Medical Assistants taking advantage of higher education becoming Registered Nurses and Physican Assistants.

We wish the best for those individuals who are entering a field that has many rewards and character building challenges.
