On the Hunt for Health Career Training

Posted by Team50 on 08/26/08 in Careers

I have been looking around the Lauderdale area looking for medical training for a friend. Schools offering health career training seem to be few and far between. Most community college offer nursing or something related to nursing, but don’t seem to offer enough specialized training. Luckily, I ran across Sanford Brown in Lauderdale.

Sanford Brown offers many options for Florida health career training. They offer Medical Assisting, Pharmacy Technician, Surgical Technology, Medical Billing, Dental Assisting, and even Diagnostic Medical Sonography. Have any of you had a sonogram before? Would you want a nurse trainee from a community college doing a sonogram on your baby or on you if you were having abdominal problems? Not me. I’m glad to see the different types of specialized training they offer.

The programs seem fairly inclusive in their training. Most colleges focus almost exclusively on in class training or classroom labs. This type of instruction is great, but experience is really the best teacher. Sanford Brown integrates both classroom training with externships with medical facilities that allow students to actually use their training in a supervised real world setting.

Sanford Brown is easy to enroll in. They offer a survey to check and see if you qualify for training there. Financial aid is available to students who qualify. Day, evening, and even online classes are offered for students. Once a student graduates from Sanford Brown, they have the option of having career services help them find a job in the field. Personally, if I was looking for a job in the medical field, I would check out Sanford Brown. Give them a look. It will only take a couple minutes of your time, and who knows, perhaps you will end up in the medical profession someday.
