Robert Marchi, another community professional who left his practice to become an educator, teaches in the School of Healthcare. 

He sees our college as a vital component of healthcare in our state. MTC confers certifications that gets people directly into the workforce at many levels. Being a part of sending good healthcare workers into our communities is a source of joy and satisfaction for Robert. 

He also feels the stakes of his instruction: without a good foundation, students won't go on to succeed and be compassionate and competent caregivers. So he sweats the details. His attention to broad issues and unit details make him a conscientious instructor. On the episode webpage, you'll find some fun examples of his creative teaching: multilinguistic "words" he and his students have cobbled together to engage their mastery of medical roots, stems, and suffixes. You'll also find some information about how he frames emotionally difficult topics, which abound in medicine. 

Come spend some time with Healthcare.
