Testimonials

TESTIMONIAL: Like a Brand New Car… ?!

Jamey Watson, Program Chair – Surgical Technology at Athens Technical College, gave his students a 30 day trial subscription to JOMI this summer.  Here’s what happened:

“…in my lecture this afternoon I took about 20 minutes to go over the JOMI website with the students, basically showing it to them just as an idea. When I finished, I shared with them that (Athens Tech now has) a month long all access trial. You would have thought I had given them a brand new car. They were so excited. And I am too.”
