I just got accepted into the Diagnostic Medical Sonography here at American Institute. The Admission Rep Ms Kathy was Amazing!! She answered all of my questions and concerns. I was given a tour prior to signing up for the program and they are fully equipped with all of the Sonography training need. Long story short run don’t walk and sign up for the upcoming training you won’t be disappointed..

My experience so far has been wonderful. It started out rocky and has gotten Better as I have completed my mods. If you are not used to going to classes online it does take some getting used to. I can say I have had a lot of encouragement and help from the instructors and even the program director. This program is fast paced. They offer a variety of hands on learning methods which really works best for me! I’ll update my review when I graduate! Update: I graduated in January. I had a lot of help with job placement. I’m in an urgent care center and I love it. I have been offered many opportunities based on my experience with America institution! I have sat for the rma and passed😊♥️
