DRAGANA MEDJEDOVIC
Restorative Dental Hygiene - S400
Graduated 2004

"The whole dental clinic at George Brown College was amazing; the equipment, instruments, all the materials, everything worked - if a piece of equipment broke it was fixed by the next day," she recalls.

Fitness & Lifestyle Management Program

"As a graduate of the F&LM Program, I have had an opportunity to work in four different sectors of the industry: community, commercial and clinical as well as privately as a personal trainer. As a manager, I know that anyone hired from George Brown College's Fitness Program has always excelled. They bring with them job-ready skills, a wealth of knowledge and good client-service skills. Most applicants from the program are the best candidates for the job. We usually hire them on the spot!"
