Krishna R. King

As an honour student of the Institute of Allied Health Jamaica, I am proud to reflect on my journey through the Registered Phlebotomy Technician program. This experience has been nothing short of transformative—both academically and professionally.

From day one, our instructor Mrs. Parkes-Smith demonstrated a deep commitment to excellence, blending theoretical knowledge with practical skills in a supportive and engaging learning environment. The hands-on training in venipuncture, patient care, infection control, and specimen handling was both rigorous and rewarding, ensuring I was well-prepared for real-world clinical settings.

The program not only sharpened my technical abilities but also strengthened my confidence, professionalism, and ethical approach to patient care. I especially appreciated the emphasis on safety protocols and communication skills—two vital pillars in the healthcare field.

Graduating with honors is a testament to the dedication I poured into my studies, but it also speaks volumes about the quality of education provided at the Institute. I am grateful for the encouragement, mentorship, and high standards that pushed me to be my best.

Thanks to the Institute of Allied Health Jamaica, I now step confidently into the healthcare field, equipped with the knowledge, competence, and compassion needed to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients.

Ayesia Kendall

I wanted to improve my education but didn’t know where to begin until someone recommended IAHJA to me. Transparent, outstanding customer service, dedicated,discipline, exceeding expectations—enough words – can not express the competence of the entire staff. One thing I admire about this private institution is how committed they are to their students success; it’s not just about a pay cheque. With my head held high, I’m proud to have attended IAHJA. I am not just a Registered Phlebotomy Technician, but also a practical nurse. Thank you, Mrs. Parkes-Smith and staff members, for the tough love and guidance; it helped me to become a better student and an excellent healthcare professional.

Anna Marie McLean-Mullings

I came across an ad on Facebook and could not get it out of my head. I had to get enrolled. If you want to become a Pharmacy Technician and searching for an institution that offers flexible payment plans, professional and courteous customer service, and qualified, dedicated, passionate, and caring instructors, all in one place, then it got to be IAHJA! I cannot thank them enough for allowing me the opportunity to move one step closer to my ultimate goal. Do I like the Pharmacy technician program they offer? For sure I do! and guess what, you will like it too. Would I recommend the program to others? I already have and will continue doing so. It’s IAHJA for me. The little and humble institution with big integrity! -Anna Marie

Christina Sang

After a year of having my daughter and dropping out of university I was determined to make myself better. I got accepted into many schools and something still didn’t feel right to me. I came across Institute of Allied Health Jamaica, I was quite nervous because I wondered how I would juggle school and a new baby at the time but Institute of Allied Health made it very easy for me. The environment and especially my teacher really boosted my confidence and gave me that drive to just give my all and there I fell in love with my program. I have so much gratitude for the school because I’ve learnt a lot and feel I can now tackle the world.

Joy L. Ellis

I am Joy Ellis, age 50, and a past student of Institute of Allied Health Jamaica This institution has completely changed the arc of my academic life. Being someone whose School life ended abruptly at age 16 yrs. old, IAHJA was a second chance for me.   From day one! I realize that this institution took learning and teaching seriously and they expect their students to take responsibility for their own learning.   Listen, I went in an adult and came out transformed into an avid and successful learned adult, in every aspect of my life. My instructor was passionate about imparting knowledge and know how to at the highest level, everything she does displays that. A thank you to Institute of Allied Health Jamaica doesn’t seem adequate but thank you for believing in me and to give me the gift of an incredible career path and for always putting your students first, I will most definitely pay it forward in your name.

Trishauna Campbell

My name is Trishauna Campbell, I am a past student of the IAHJA. I have choose the medical field firstly, because my hands are to save lives and secondly, a better life for my son and I It was a rough couple of months studying but it eventually paid off and I just want to say a big thank you to my teacher Ms. Parkes, although she said we must not address her as a teacher but Ms. Parkes, you are my forever Teacher! Thank you for never giving up on me and believing in me, I’m so glad I made you proud. My advice to upcoming students who might have Ms. Parkes for their teacher, is to please come with your ‘A’ game and humbleness because you have a very loud mouth Teacher to deal with but otherwise from that, you will definitely get your money’s worth. Wish you all the best.

Justine Henry

I am Justine Henry and this is my school journey story. This journey started because of my daughter who passed at 7weeks old after birth.  I promised myself and her that I would make her proud of me in whatever I chose to do…. Studying phlebotomy has taught me a lot about the human body and mainly it help me to understand more about the condition my daughter was diagnosed with. Listen, let me be honest, the course information can get overwhelming, at one point I wanted to give up, nonetheless I pushed through and reminded myself why I was doing the program. Thanks to my instructor for passing on her knowledge and being a great inspiration to me. My time and money was well spent at IAHJA, I was taught well and I retained my course information well. I am glad that I did not give up on this path , I want to  thank God,  my mom, my daughter and the Institute of Allied Health Jamaica for helping me on this journey of becoming a proud Registered Phlebotomy Technician.

Nicola Campbell

Institute of Allied Health is the best school I’ve ever attended. Their main priority is the success of their students. As a past student who lives overseas, I still talk about the director, Ms. Parkes. She is someone you would wish not to go through life without crossing paths with… She is approachable, selfless, patient and kind, inspirational etc… From the first time we met I realized Miss Parkes was no ordinary human. She knows how to bring out the best in you, has one believe in his or her own abilities whilst strengthening your own self-concept. I have started the nursing program overseas because of the faith she has in me, and her constant encouragements. The world would do so well with character traits like Miss Parkes. Nicola Campbell

Renay Richards

IAHJA is an institution any progressive persons would want to be a part of. I am Renay Richards and I am happy to have align myself with this institution. I’m also grateful for my instructor Ms. L. Parkes, for her ability to Support her student’s development in any area we might Fall short in and I am not just talking about Phlebotomy, her teaching expends beyond the program topics, to life lessons that motivates and inspires you to become a greater version of yourself.  My experience with IAHJA was an awesome one! I am who I am today because of this humble institution. Let me just add and be honest, Ms. Parkes teaching style is very unconventional, so if you not ‘down to earth’ and very serious about your school work, you might want to readjust before considering this institution but trust me when I say, you won’t regret attending this school.
