AMSTERDAM, N.Y. (WNYT)- Mildred Elley opened a new site at 27 Wall Street in Amsterdam offering classes for students studying to get a Licensed Practical Nursing or Clinical Medical Assistant certificate.

The new site was opened to help students work on their studies while being able to stay close to home.

“When looking at the Amsterdam area, we recognized the large gap in options for professionals to continue their education in the medical field,” said Faith Ann Takes, president, CEO, and owner of Mildred Elley. “We look forward to helping to bridge this gap with our new extension site and bring more opportunities for jobs and prosperity Amsterdam and its surrounding areas.” 

Students attending classes at the Amsterdam site will start there and finish their studies in Albany. Students in the Clinical Medical Assistant program can earn a certificate in as little as 14 months.
