Dade Medical College recently welcomed House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) to its Miami campus. Representative Cantor toured the campus to see first-hand Dade Medical College’s healthcare education advancements.
Dade Medical College offers a host of innovative and interactive programs such as diagnostic cardiac sonography, radiology, medical billing and coding and more. They also have a fully-accredited Nursing School and a newly created School of Continuing Education, for professionals seeking to maintain licensure.
