I did the surgical technologist program here and got through it. It’s a tough & longest program they offer but, well worth it. My teacher was Ms. Rush. Lol let me tell you–she is tough! But when you get out to do your clinical hours. you will be prepared. You have to pay attention, show up every day, and do your work. If not, don’t bother wasting someone else’s or your time. Once I finished my clinical hours I was hired within a week and still currently working for them.

Joe A.

I am currently attending another school in Los Angeles and I will be transferring to VCMC immediately. Good school, good teachers, cost of the programs are less expensive than other schools. My friends attend VCMC and they love the environment which is very important. I recommend VCMC over any other school!!!

Amanda Fike

I am very proud to recommend valley college of medical careers for anyone who is truly interested in the medical field. If you want something bad enough, it’s worth working hard for. The key to success is to put your all in to it. The Medical Assisting program is the best!! The instructor, Mr. U is very knowledgeable, competent, intelligent, & caring. He makes learning interesting and fun! I personally couldn’t get enough and was sad to leave. Now I have a great future in a field that I love. Thank you, Mr. U!!! I ‘am grateful to have had your instruction.

Terrie S.

I started this program about eight months ago, ready to go to externship, and let me just say I’m so pleased where I put my time and effort. Not only is the school affordable, it’s very flexible and the teacher running the Medical Assistant program is devoted! It’s some small school so somethings run slower but they can help you out and give you 1on1 with what’s needed, if you want to be an MA and want to get the best foundation this is where, believe me!
