There is no better way to finish an apprenticeship: Victoria Minch (22) and Lilly Hoffmann (25) excelled with top grades at their medical assistant (MFA) graduation on 21 June. Victoria Minch achieved 92 and Lilly Hoffmann achieved 91 out of a possible 100 percent – making them two of the best graduates at the Hannover district office. A total of 307 women and men completed the three-year medical assistant training programme at the district office this year. Congratulations to Victoria Minch and Lilly Hoffmann came from MHH Vice President Professor Dr Frank Lammert: "We are not only happy for you about your excellent grades, but above all about the fact that you chose the MHH as your employer and continue to work here with great commitment and dedication."
MFA training positions more than doubled
Lilly Hoffmann took up a position at the Department of Pneumology, where she works in the field of bronchoscopy. "I really enjoy my work. I assist with examinations, get to know many patients and can often follow their progress over a long period of time," says the newly qualified MFA. Victoria Minch works in the outpatient clinic of the Department of Haematology, Haemostaseology, Oncology and Stem Cell Transplantation. She enjoys the close contact with patients and with the medical team. "In the outpatient clinic, I can follow the path of new drugs from the first application to approval. I find that very interesting," explains Victoria Minch, who, in addition to her MFA training, has also completed further training as a study nurse.
The final certificates match the overall impression that the young women have made. "They have always made a positive impression, were very committed and received only positive feedback from the departments they worked in," confirms Miroslawa Kurt from the MFA training centre. More than 70 people are currently undergoing training in medical-technical assistance at the MHH. Because the profession is in demand and has a promising future, the MHH board places particular emphasis on providing the most comprehensive training possible and has more than doubled the number of training places compared to the years before the pandemic.
