TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- National education leader David Donahue joined Ultimate Medical Academy this week as Senior Vice President and Chief of Staff. He will report to UMA President Derek Apanovitch and work closely with UMA Executive Chair of the Board of Directors and former Governor of Massachusetts Jane Swift to build local and national relationships and partnerships that advance the mission of UMA to equip and empower students to excel in healthcare careers.
"We are thrilled to have David join the UMA leadership team," Apanovitch said. "He has a wealth of experience in a wide range of educational and community settings, and we look forward to seeing his impact here at UMA on behalf of our students."
Donahue comes to UMA from Middlebury College in Vermont, where he spent more than 20 years in a variety of roles, including most recently as the college's Chief of Staff and Director of Community Relations.

That is important and necessary work, especially given the pressing demand for skilled healthcare workers. I'm honored to join the nonprofit higher education institution."
