EVIT staff wonders "What happened to oranges?"

East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT) students practiced the "stick" for blood draws on EVIT staff members. Angel Navarrette, Administrative Assistant at EVIT agreed to be an authentic test for future Medical Assistants. Historically, oranges have been used to practice the "stick" but, let's face it, oranges don't complain if it hurts or you miss the vein. The EVIT program insists upon the real thing.

Medical Assistants are in high demand in medical offices because they provide front office expertise and direct patient care.
