Concorde Career College-Memphis in Memphis

All I have to say is after graduating with high honors in the Medical Office Professional class. I CAN NOT FIND A JOB TO SAVE MY LIFE. If you are in that class please find your own externship site that will hire you cause if you don't get hired from your Externship site you probably won't find a job.

I came here as a patient at the clinic. I do not go to the dentist regularly. Every time I've ever had my teeth cleaned I've had a bad experience. The last time I had my teeth cleaned was 10 years ago. I went to a local dentist office and had a regular teeth cleaning done. The dentist was so rough on my teeth. When I left the office and looked in the mirror my gums were bruised! Like black and blue bruised. I've been scared to go back to the dentist ever since. After putting a cleaning off for 10 years I had to have a deep cleaning. I couldn't find anywhere to go because everywhere charges $500+. I found out I could go to the clinic at Concorde so I scheduled an appointment. The dental hygienist who did my deep cleaning was Amber. She was extremely nice and respectful. She made sure I was comfortable at all times. She seemed like she really cares about her job. She is going to to really good when she finally starts her career. After my experience at Concorde and having such an awesome person to clean my teeth I will definitely go back and refer others.

Great School & Dedicated Teachers And Staff Graduated Medical Assistant , Going Back This Year For RN Program 💕💕

So many negative reports but do not be confused because people generally never leave positive comments. Those of us who are happy and striving are not leaving comments I see because I see no one I personally know on these post. I am not trying to make light of anyone's situation and I will not tell you Concorde is perfect but its definitely a blessing for some. RN program the classes are extremely challenging and it requires full dedication to not just pass but to grasp what you are learning. Dr. Williams is the absolute best and made things like A&P and Micro easy to understand with many tips on retaining the info as well. I can't speak for no one else but I have no complaints.

It is my impression that Concorde is going through a lot of changes with a fairly new President and a new program instructor or two. It is clear that they want to know things from students and faculty to make improvements, and are trying to take the Memphis location into the right direction. This, unfortunately, will not happen overnight and will require going back to the core fundamentals. There are a couple of “Instructors” at the Memphis location that are not qualified to be in ANY leadership role. Often, I witnessed them arguing among each other, cursing at or toward each other in the classroom, cursing at students, or having just a rude, bad and unapproachable attitude in general. There is a difference in being knowledgeable in your trade and being one of ‘instructor’ or ‘leadership’ capacity. There is plenty of this rude and unnecessary drama at the Concorde Memphis location. They could talk the talk when they had to, and will do so in front of the people they report to, but actions will always speak louder than words. I was shocked to see the lack of organization my clinical instructor toward the end had.. with the worst attitude on top of it. She would ask us questions about things that she should have been instructing us on, and then get an attitude because we couldn’t answer her. A good instructor will make all the difference in doing their part to aid in the standards set forth by the school as a whole. A good instructor should have a heart felt approach and be able to treat every student with the same positive encouragement. A good instructor will also use the utmost discretion when having personal knowledge of a student and choose not to share it with others. Not just be there with the sole initiative of collecting a paycheck which was pretty evident with a few. There are some students there that get by with things they shouldn't get by with. Arriving late all the time, arriving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or not arriving at all. How are these people passed through the system? This also sets the standard of other students and faculty. Further, this mentality is a huge slap in the face to those students who show up timely and apply themselves to the fullest. Being witness to those things will eventually wear even on the toughest minded student, making them feel so negatively about their experience that they will eventually get to a level of indifference and become solely interested on just finishing what they've started. I did get what I went for but I can also say I have never been so glad in my life to get past anything as much as I was this experience. When you graduate you will be shocked to see the debt you have accumulated and how many years it will take you to pay that off.
