A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF ULTIMATE MEDICAL ACADEMY

Welcome to Ultimate Medical Academy (UMA), where we equip and empower students to excel in healthcare careers. As a nonprofit institution, it is our mission to provide a learning experience that maximizes value for our students in a professional, supportive and ethical environment. There is a growing need for skilled healthcare professionals in the United States. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the healthcare industry is projected to have 16.97 million1 open positions from 2020 - 2030. That's more than the population of most U.S. states. UMA faculty and staff are dedicated to helping students meet this rising demand. At UMA, we care about students and their goals, and we support them through every step of their journey, both inside and outside of the classroom. We offer academic programs that are designed to match workforce needs delivered through interactive, online courses as well as hands-on and blended learning at our campus in Clearwater, Florida. We also offer academic assistance, academic sessions, financial guidance and more to ensure students have the best chance at success, and our support continues after graduation with our career and alumni services. By pursuing careers in healthcare, UMA students are not only helping to improve their own lives, they're helping to improve the lives of others, too. Whether you're a potential student, team member, business partner or supporter, I invite you to learn more about UMA by exploring our website or contacting us. Best regards,

Thomas Rametta President
