I am a former student from CBD, graduating this past September from the MR Program Cohort 3. That is what it states on my degree, however I didn't really complete my externship until 10/26/2020. You might say I am a bit disgruntled with my experience at CBD and people would most likely say I was justified. The latest issue, should not have come as a surprise to myself after all the others. It just intensified my frustration with the school for the amount of money I spent to attend it. I would also like to say covid also impacted the last issue somewhat but not really.
I will start in order of occurrence of the issues I have had with CBD.
1. Dr.K physics instructor - I along with plenty of other students basically taught ourselves physics. I might add that the Math instructor tutored alot of the students on his own time. I also know our class wasn't the only class to have this issue. We brought the issue up and basically told nothing could be done. So alot of us learned on our own. Paying the amount of money for the program I should not have had to teach myself physics.
2. Clinicals Placement - I was placed in a UMI in Irvine as my first clinic. I lasted exactly one week, at first no answer was given as to why I would not be back. I was already setting up patients, doing screenings everything that was asked from me. I was polite and deferring. They even went as far as giving me difficult regular patients that they didn't want that came in weekly. I had no problem and the patients even complimented me putting them at ease. I was told I wasn't wanted back for the imbecilic excuse that I was playing with my car keys during the initial meet and greet for my externship. My keys fell out of my scrubs and I picked them up off the floor.
3. Clinicals Placement 2 - The second clinic was in Lynwood was also a UMI I believe. Manager of clinic was a no show the day we were to meet. When we did meet, I was told it did not matter if I showed up or not I was going to get my hours signed off regardless and my degree wasn't worth anything and That I would need to take a job making 13 -15 dollars to start anyway. When I went back to the school to report this to the clinicals coordinator I was called a liar by the rep that handled that clinic. I'm not sure what her name was she is Persian or Armenian I believe. However, I had a corroborating witness to back up my story another student. I didn't pay money to not be taught. Seems like everyone connect with CBD is out to make buck whether people learn or not.
4. Clinicals Placement 3 - I spent majority of time here and had to fight to scan. I learned here and was appreciative for what I did learn. The thing that I did not appreciate was that when the pandemic hit. The Clinic owners / operators brought in a patient with covid ( who was very ill) told all their employees. However, did not want me to know. The techs were instructed not to tell me. However, one of their techs didn't think it was ethical to not inform me so he did. That was shady on their part. I could have caught covid and brought it home to my family. I was a student, I was not a tech at the time. I kept hearing "Well this the field you are going to be in." At the time I was a student and was not getting paid to put my health on the line.
5. We come to my final issue I have with the school. I graduated in Sept. 2020 Passed ARRT exam with a 93%. Granted at the end of the year and beginning hiring is slow. I understand that completely have been in the work force for many years. However, your institution states the following on your website which is in the image below and is highlighted.
I have yet to get one job lead from the school. Not 1, I have applied for over 50 positions and have had a grand total of one interview. Which I applied for on my own. I got lip service from 1 rep. She kept say '"Oh so and so will be calling you today." Never got a call from anyone. Now I get from "Oh, I will talk to my contacts to get you an interview with this clinic and or that clinic. Know what I get NOTHING..
