I finished this program in 2011 and could never find a job in Ultrasound filed. This school lies about being CAAHEP certified. This means you can not be board certified unless you work for 1 year. Well good luck finding a job with out being board certified. I am still paying back 32K and the school does not help you find jobs. Don't waste your money. You will only be financing Myra's(owner) plastic surgeries.
My daughter, who just graduated from high school, and I came in from out of town to look at this school. We had a high level of interest as we had spoken with the Director of Admissions prior to our visit. After a brief tour, and a very quick rundown of the curriculum, we were passed onto a financial aid representative, and dismissed. Financial aid was not a concern or a need, so we asked to speak with Judy, the Director of Admissions, to answer a few questions, and we were told that she didn't need to see us, and to fill out the paperwork and call with any questions. Really? We come in from out of town, and that's it? Very unprofessional. Very disappointing. Yet very affirming, that this school is not on the path to success.
I like this school.. especially our clinical instructor ms. Creel she s helping us as long as she can And I learned a lot from her. And ms cristine in our theory instructor , these two instructors I would say i gave my 10 stars.. they re both good instructor
The MRI program is pretty good all things considered. Everyone there is only interested in seeing you succeed. In particular Adam Wootton (MRI Clinical Instructor) who goes above and beyond to prepare his students for the field. His passion for MRI is contagious and inspiring.
West Coast Ultrasound Institute has been amazing to me, and every part of my experience they have been positive and given me high confidence that I made the right choice when I picked this school to get my training.
The equipment is always available and the staff are super helpful, going above and beyond to help me when I need extra learning, and giving me encouragement when I m on the right track. Fariba is one of the best teachers I ve ever had in my life, she knows her stuff! As a lab instructor she is professional, Polite and she has great teaching skills, she cares about her students. When I need help she s there, in class or out of class. Her instructions are very clear, with her lectures and techniques given to me and the other students to become more efficient sonographers.
I know with these facilities and the staff here at WCUI, I m going to be well prepared for a career in the field.
I also just recently passed my SPI board exam. I m very grateful for My Physics instructor &all the staff here. Thank you to all.
Ok, so this school has so much potential. I attended the MRI program. Half way through my course my physics teacher resigned because some of the students didn't like him.. I have too many stories on why this school is not the best. For starters.... THEY LEAVE STUDENTS UNPREPARED TO TAKE THE MRI LICENSE Test. Anyways... this is just my experience. And other classmates of mine feel the same. I wish I didn't waste my money with this school.
I was the second class to graduate. I've had a wonderful career. I've traveled all over the country as ultrasound technologist. Ultrasound saved my life. While I was in school, we practiced on each other and Yoli who was my class mate found a mass on my kidney. It turned out to be cancer. Thanks Yoli and thanks Myra.
I graduated from this ama ing school as a Sonographer( ultrasound technologist) back in 2003. And planning to go back for Echo. They helped do much even to find a job.
This is a very good school with great teachers. There is open lab twice a week which gives you enough time to practice and succeed in the field. All of the instructors are very knowledge and are there to help you.
I am thankful for Ms. Susan Creel and Ms.Christine M Orteza.They have been a tremendous nursing instructor. kind, timely in their grading and responses to emails & posts, low stress, compassionate. There aren t enough positive adjectives to describe them.They are exactly the type of person I need to help me succeed to become in LVN.I believe myself.Thanks!
