I would not recommend this program. The fact that the externship does not go along with the written portion to gel the learning experience together is a big problem with clinics that have to "train" you as they state it taking time from their busy day. I have not found one they were supposedly contracted with willing to take me on as a student with their reasons being "too much paperwork" did not want to allow me to complete all skills which would lead me to find a second clinic at the same time to do this, the training involved because you forget what you learned from 9 months ago and in general the biggie was "I'm not getting paid for this and you'll leave me when your trained!"

This program has one aim and one aim only...to get into your pockets! The program director does nothing but belittle and berate you and when you ask direct questions, she threatens to send you for "academic review for disciplinary action". So.. in short, unless you are willing to pay to lick at the heels of the most power hungry person you have ever met, DON'T THROW YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY AWAY!!! Now couple that with the fact that you can work as hard as you can and it will get you absolutely nowhere because you will be held up waiting for approval that you have clicked a link "frequently" (what does that mean???) until you simply give up...and you have no chance at all at getting through this program honestly. It is a joke and a scam!!! Please, please, please look elsewhere!
