Hello, I just wanted to share my experience at High Desert medical College. I graduated from here with my associates in ultrasound, October 2023. Till this day December 2025, I still have yet to find a job or start a career in ultrasound. I have contacted the school on multiple occasions & left messages in regards to helping me find a job in the ultrasound field, and still, have heard nothing back, No messages no emails no calls, nada. Mind you, every time I called, I spoke to somebody and they said they would have somebody call me back, 2 years later I have yet to receive ANYTHING from them. It breaks my heart to have worked so hard, get my degree, get my SPI, and not get any help from the school in finding work like they had promised. I really wish I didnβt have to write this, I donβt like leaving reviews, especially negative ones, but this is unreal at this point. I feel so let down & stressed. I know some time has passed since I graduated, and this is a late review, I was on hear just reading the reviews and felt I needed to also say something about my experience. If I wasnβt promised to be helped in finding work after graduation, I wouldnβt be this upset.

I had an incredible experience with the accelerated nursing program. The fast-paced curriculum was challenging but extremely rewarding, and it prepared me thoroughly for a career in nursing. The faculty was knowledgeable, supportive, and always available to provide guidance when needed especially the Campus Director Sheri Johnson a HUGE thanks to her. I especially appreciated the hands-on clinical experience, which gave me the confidence and skills to step into a real-world healthcare setting right after graduation and passing my NCLEX on the first try. If youβre committed and passionate about nursing, this program will give you everything you need to succeed in a condensed and focused timeframe.

Loved the program for medical billing and coding, not so much the externship site they sent me to.. (Absolute Billing Company) The program itself was solid and the instructors were great, but the site? Absolutely toxic. I was spoken to like I was mentally slow, constantly talked down to, and made to feel like a burden for asking questions. Peter was the only decent human being there. Kind, helpful, and actually willing to teach. The rest made me dread showing up every day. They have no problem humiliating their students in front of everyone and gossiping behind their backs. I left my extern emotionally wrecked and genuinely traumatized. If the school actually cares about its students, theyβll highly reconsider sending anyone else there. No one deserves to be disrespected like that in the name of βexperience.β
