The Medical Careers Institute: CollegeSurfing.com Featured School of the Week - January 21, 2008

Jan. 22, 2008 - PRLog -- If your prescription for good TV consists of shows like "Scrubs," "Grey's Anatomy," and "ER," you could be on your way to a career in the heath care industry. Although watching shows like these will clue you in to the difference between a scalpel and a splint, they won't give you the training or the knowledge to enter a successful health care career. For that you'll need to attend a reputable health care school.

At the Medical Careers Institute (http://www.collegebound.net/clickcount.php?id=8799557&goto=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.collegesurfing.com%2Fce%2Fmedical_careers%2F) in the state of Virginia, aspiring health care students are already receiving a daily dose of the education and skills that health care careers are built upon. With campuses in both the south and west ends of Richmond, as well as in Newport News and Virginia Beach, Virginia, the Medical Careers Institute provides students with easy access to the courses they need. Although the health care programs offered will vary from campus to campus, Medical Careers Institute promises students small class sizes and experienced instructors no matter which locations they choose. The health career school also offers students the choice of attending day or evening courses, and some programs are even available via the Internet.

Unlike some other health care schools, the Medical Careers Institute offers health care programs in a variety of disciplines. While students who prefer using managerial and computer skills can enroll in the medical administration program, others who enjoy having one-on-one interactions with patients will appreciate the opportunities given by the registered nursing and medical assisting programs. Specialized health care programs for professions such as dental assisting and surgical technology are also available.

As for students who are interested in the hands-on possibilities of health care, the Medical Careers Institute offers programs in massage therapy and physical therapy assisting. From diploma courses to programs that lead to an associate in applied science degree, there are plenty of options available at this health career school.

With an education at the Medical Careers Institute, students not only learn career-appropriate skills, they receive career opportunities as well. Successful completion of the registered nursing program, for example, grants students an associate of applied science degree and the qualifications necessary for taking the State Board of Nursing's RN-NCLEX exam for licensure to practice. Courses at this health care school also provide students with the first-hand learning they need thanks to clinical training and externships that are incorporated throughout the programs.

The opportunities don't end there either, as this health care school is dedicated to helping students enter their chosen field after graduation. Towards this end, Medical Careers Institute provides students with individual career advising that can discuss with them everything from the job search to housing. In addition, the health care school's Career Advising Department regularly arranges job interviews for students with both local and national medical organizations.
