Jumping into SMC's Surgical Technology
Jumping into SMC's Surgical Technology course, i was a bit anxious about the tech side of things. But the platform was user-friendly, and any tech hiccups were quickly smoothed out by their responsive support.
Great Orientation
Adarsh Kumar was fantastic at orienting me to the program. He has an easy-going, smooth style. He was prompt and concise, making for a great introduction to the Surgical Boot Camp Program.
The Surgical Technologist Bootcamp
The Surgical Technologist Bootcamp online was really useful. The coursework was clear and to follow, and the instructors were always there to answer any questions. Santa Monica College made sure I was well-prepared for my future job.-
2023 was a rough year for me. I lost a lot but I also gained a lot. I desperately needed to start working, but I wanted to spend my time on starting a career and not working a typical 9-5 that I won’t grow in or be happy in. I decided to do research and stumbled upon Santa Monica College. I gave them a call and I was very happy to know that it was at my own pace and I could get finished as quickly as I was capable. The only other thing I needed to figure out was the financial aspect of it, I was nervous about that. Luckily, there was an affordable payment plan! Because I have health care knowledge already, I was happy to see that I got through the program very quickly and was satisfied with the learning experience.

The DA program offered by Santa Monica College is a cost-friendly course that really prepares you for the responsibilities of being a dental assistant. I felt that it worked perfectly for my busy schedule and was nice to my pockets! The team was very on point with their assistance and making sure that I got to experience the entirety of what the course had to offer. Overall, great communication and great course material!

My initial steps into the Santa Monica College's Health IT Bootcamp haven't just been informative, they've been electrifying. The orientation session wasn't just a roadmap, it was a spark igniting my passion for this dynamic field. This bootcamp isn't just about filling my brain with facts; it's about shaping my career. The focus on practical skills like troubleshooting, data management, and user training resonated deeply. I can already picture myself confidently implementing cutting-edge technologies and empowering healthcare professionals with their use.
