“[Because of USMH] I was able to attend college during the evening time in pursuit of an Education degree, while still maintaining my job as a substitute teacher during the day. My future as an Educator is now very achievable!”
“USMH has given me the opportunity to pursue a debt-free education while staying close to home. Their flexible class schedule allowed me to work full-time and complete my studies. I was able to do my student teaching in my local county, which helped me build connections and ultimately secure a teaching position there. USMH truly set me up for a successful start to my career.”
“I am so glad that I chose USMH. I was able to live at home while pursuing my bachelor’s degree and the people I’ve met here became family. I’ll be forever grateful for USMH and the opportunities they’ve provided me with.”
"USMH allowed me to stay close to home and save money while achieving my bachelor's degree. It was also a great opportunity for me to complete my student teaching in the schools/county I was aspiring to teach in. I was able to interview and accept a job before I graduated. It was a great experience!"
HAGERSTOWN, Md. — Meritus Health is community-obsessed.
That commitment is evident in the health system’s decision to hire at least four recent
graduates from the physician assistant (PA) program, joining several students from the
program already at Meritus.
