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!

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 didnt 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 didnt waste my money with this school.

I was the second class to graduate. Ive had a wonderful career. Ive 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.

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 didnt need to see us, and to fill out the paperwork and call with any questions. Really? We come in from out of town, and thats it? Very unprofessional. Very disappointing. Yet very affirming, that this school is not on the path to success.

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. Dont waste your money. You will only be financing Myras(owner) plastic surgeries.

I attended WCUI in the MRI program. The program is excellent and they have excellent instructors like Adam Wootton who provides support, assistance, and is very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend the program to anyone interested in the field.

Thorough, low priced, high quality ultrasounds done with professionalism. Ultrasound reports done by well-educated radiologists

Need to have 1 year of work experience after graduating from the Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound before being eligible to take the ARDMS exam. Program must be CAAHEEP or CMA accredited

Review №16

Staff was very nice. However, the ultrasound program is not accredited. When asked about if and how many students were employed here or near LA after graduation, they only kept saying examples of very few students that got employed in other states and small cities, pretty much anywhere that would overlook the program not being accredited because they needed employees. And even then it took them months to find the job. You cant sit for the ARDMS exam after graduation until after you have a year of full time paid work experience (which will be nearly impossible to find a job with out having done the exam or going to a caheep school.) Do your research please before picking a college for the AAS DMS program. This one wasnt the one for me. I decided to go to an accredited school which was only $1,000 more than WCUI. Worth the money because the school is very nice, modern, and its less of a hassle to sit for the ARDMS exam (which ima able to do quickly with out the paid work experience because of going to an accredited school.)

I have to represent my school! I dont know about the other programs but I finishes the LVN program graduated in Jan. 2015 the nursing department is amazing!! The school really goes above and beyond to train us and give us as much experience as they can. Shout out to Dr. Haney the nursing director!! Love this guy! He is a nurse and guess what also a Physician. We his students couldent be in better hands. Like every school they are not perfect but knowing you have a dedicated and devoted director that is willing to play theory instructor, clinical instructor, and spend his nights and weekends helping you and your education incase his staff fails, thats priceless! He is a role model to all students and staff and proves it if needed. I have the luxury to say a Dr. Was my theory instructor in nursing school and my classmates and I slammed dunked the NCLEX yeeea!! About job hunting I recommend alredy being in the field before you go spend $29k on a program obviously. I was alredy a CNA for 2yrs. And it was easier for me to get a job. Which I got right away by the way! $22/hr start off pay couldent get better for me and my family. I am so thankful to this school. Mr.Lee you are deeply appriciated and loved as well!
