Institute Of Medical Education

IME is really great! they have had some growth over the last year or two, but all in all I had a great experience in the MRI program. The teachers are fantastic and very knowledgeable they are always willing to work with you and help you to succeed. I never had any problem with financial aid people they were great. As for the Admissions department I cannot say enough they are also very knowledgeable and caring people. I loved my time at IME they found a great externship site for me in the end I was hired by my site. more

I am enrolled in the dental hygiene program at IME. I am very satisfied with my experience. My instructors provided substantial feedback and clearly defined their expectations of students. Also they are providing lots of online study materials which are very helpful. Overall, I feel that I learned a great deal and am looking forward to finishing by June 2011 more

I am a recent IME graduate and have found the quality of education exceptional. Most of my instructors offer an educational experience that is challenging and interactive. I highly recommend IME to achieve your educational endeavors more

Being at IME has provided me when a wonderful experience inside and outside the classroom. I had previously attended a large University and going to a private school was a shock to me. I was overwhelmed with how easy it is to see your instructors, and how much better class participation was. My advisors are responsive to my needs and I highly recommend this school to anyone I meet who is considering a nursing program. more

This, I can only speak about the MLT program, is an excellent program. The communication between faculty and students has been consistent and excellent. For the most part the interactions between students has been good. The academic advisors and financial aid counselors were very responsive throughout my time here. more

I studied phlebotomy at IME. I am originally from the east bay, but found San Jose to be really enjoyable. I would recommend IME for 1.) the high quality of teaching, 2.) job prospects. The externship experience afforded me many chances to do working activities that I actually use in my current position. I tell my friends to go here. more

In my experience, IME?s educational content is quality. The instructors will direct you to various online resources where you study supplemental material to help you better understand your lectures and textbooks. This is all extremely helpful for anyone facing an exam, or just wishing to generally increase their knowledge level. more

I am currently in the second semester of the Dental Hygiene course. Thus far I have had some fantastic lecturers and good lab time. We have brand new equipment and house a clinic within our campus. We get a lot of hands on experience. Carla, the Dental Hygiene Program Director, is a great director and is very attentive to the student body. I would certainly recommend Institute of medical education. I am very happy. more

So I am looking into changing careers and I found IME doing some internet research. Their programs looked interesting enough to warrant me to come in and attempt to get some help. This is where I went wrong. First thing the receptionist for the place, you know the person that is supposed to make the first impression was horrible at her job as I was not even greeted as I walked in. Moments after her staring at me the phone rang and she proceeded to do her job but continued to ignore me. Once done and off she asked if I needed assistance and I explained that that I was interested in looking into furthering my education through them and that I would like to speak to a counselor or anyone that could help me. She proceeded to tell me that counselors only work on an appointment basis and there were no counselor in that day. I made a suggestion that maybe that should be put on the website to avoid people wasting time and valuable and expensive gas getting to them to not be able to be helped. With a huff she said ""I'll make sure to take note of that"" as I walked out. All in all was not impressed enough to even go back and look further into things. I figure if you can't have a receptionist that can answer questions and potentially take care of someone walking in your front door then your instructors can't be any better. Thanks for showing me that even higher education still has ill mannered and not helpful people. more

compared to other nursing schools in the bay area, IME was the best choice for me. i am a single mom and can't afford to waste time. i was able to get into the nursing program, take my pre-reqs and start the program with no hassles. i was also able to transfer previous college credit for a few classes (i was taking RN pre-reqs already) so that knocked down my tuition down as well. before starting IME i looked into other programs but they did not offer federal grants & loans. the one other nursing school that DID offer financial aid wanted over $43K for the same program...no thanks! what are they thinking!? anyway, with my grants, my total tuition price was less than half compared to other nursing schools! other schools also had crazy school schedules like 8-5p and i just can't do that. IME is 9-1p and that is like the best for someone like me because i can drop-off/pick-up my kids to school everyday. IME is really not that bad. most teachers are genuinely concerned and have your best interests in mind. yeah, ok, it's not fancy schmancy and i have to admit there are a few kinks that need to be sorted out (parking!) but you're there to get the training to take the NCLEX, period. so you make the best of the training you get and you work hard to pass that NCLEX. in the end, it's not WHERE you went, it's if you can pass the NCLEX! you can go to the best school but if you don't have the right attitude then you will be unsuccessful. you can't expect the school to do all the work -- you have to take initiative and be proactive in your goals and education. your success depends on your will to achieve (eh, corny but true!). Pros: federal grants/loans, good tuition, great staff. 9a-1p sched Cons: parking more

financial aid is a joke. more than half of the staff does not speak fluent english which makes it really hard for about 99% of the class to understand what they're talking about. not to mention techers come to class late everyday or they just take days off. i am glad andrew isn't there anymore. he would sexually harass you literally. and that's why he was fired from the campus. can u imagine, having teachers that harass the students. the school is not organized at all. they don't keep track of anything. you have to know the price you're paying or they will come up to you in the middle of the month and tell you your balance is not zero when it actually is. that's why the school is a scam because if you don't pay attention to your finances, they take extra money out of your pocket. and sylvana in financial aid office is usually not there. heidi barely answers or returns your phone calls. and when you tell her you left a voice message, she would clearly deny the fact that you did even if you know for sure... god !!! this school is simply awful and a waste of money Pros: good location Cons: smoke on campus, uneducated staff, unprofessional professors more

I agree with clutch240sx.. the staff are great. I did medical assisting and got financial aid. I started at another school that was charging $16,000 with mostly loans. The Institute of Medical Education is only HALF of that. CRAZYYY. And i paid for most of it with financial aid grants. Also, the teachers are really helpful. Pros: Friendly staff, nice location, more

I wanted to find a new job and I figure this would be a good chance to learn a new skill. I join the phlebotomy class and it was actually quite fun. The instructors were down to earth and easy to talk to. If something were to happen, the instructor would personally call me on my cell to notify me. I appreciate it alot. I graduated and I am currently working at a small clinic. Pros: GREAT STAFF Cons: BAD PARKING more
