James “Jim” Robinson passed away on January 25, 2024, after a short illness. Jim played an instrumental role in the establishment of our Medical Assistant (MA) Apprenticeship program and worked with us as a contracted instructor for the program. With his years of experience, expertise, and passion for teaching, he was not only a leader but a mentor to both apprentices and instructors alike.
“His dedication to the medical assisting profession and his enthusiasm for education have left a mark on our program- and on the hearts of those who had the privilege to work alongside him.”
