Kino College — Local services in Oro Valley

Kino collage is a great program to help you become the best medical assistant, they have professionals teachers such as DO’s, Rn’s, PA’s and experienced MA’s.These amazing teachers will help you to ask the right questions to patients and earn critical thinking. Although things were different because of Covid, they tried their best to give us more clinicals hours in classroom since we did not have midterm. We also dissected a pig and sutured chicken breast. They will also help you to pass your certification exam. Phil will try his hardest to give you the placement that you want for externship and once you are out there you are more than ready than you think. They will celebrate with you your accomplishments outside of school. I was concerned to start the program since English is my second language but they will help you to be more comfortable throughout the program.

Kino is still growing, which is important to give feedback and here is mine. Kino needs to motivate their students a little more to remind them why they want to be MA since as students some of us can get unmotivated at times. Some classes were repetitive I believe their should be more communication between teachers to avoid this to see what topics need to be review and which don’t. I believe we all needed more practice with medical terminology and homework on a few things rather than reading the chapters. Our schedule were different each day which made it a little hard to prepare for that class. There was one teacher who would favoritism students which was unprofessional. Lastly grading and supplies were given to us late, which was a little frustrating because you do not know on what you need to work on more than others.

Overall my experience with kino was good most of the time and I appreciate the work that they have given us to become the best...

Kino college is an amazing college, I finished the medical assistant program may of 2019 and ever since my graduation my life has changed completely I have an amazing job that kino college helped me get. The instructors at kino college are very attentive, I can say that every single time I needed help or had questions I had plenty of people to ask that would answer immediately , and you will build a bond with your instructors that you won’t find anywhere else. You build a bond with the classmates, instructors, and the deans. In my personal experience the learning was fun and I was always excited for a new day of hands on learning like dissections in class to learning how to draw blood. During the program the class would also have a bit of potlucks, and I was also surprised with a baby shower speaking about that the deans also helped me catch up on my work when I was on maternity leave with my partner. Kino college sends out the elite medical assistants out in the field, kino college goes the extra mile to help you understand and they will give you the attention you need and if your struggling with class or not getting the work they will give you personal help they will not let you fail they will go out of their means to help you achieve you goals. I am very satisfied with the program and I would recommend it to anyone who asked.

Ps. I want to also touch on the fact that when it came to helping me find a place for externship kino college went out of their way to place me in the place I wanted and that also best suited me and I absolutely...

I just completed this program at Kino College. In the beginning I was nervous about enrolling at Kino because I didn’t know what to expect and didn’t know anyone from here either. Throughout the course I got to know all of my classmates and we became friends. Phil and Mr. Wilson go out of their way to ensure each student receives the right educational tools. If you’re struggling on a specific topic the instructor will go over anything you need them to. The first few months you’re hitting the books, studying for the NCCT exam, and taking tests. The last few months is when you go into more of the hands on stuff such as rooming, taking vitals, ekg’s, venipuncture, injections, suturing, and so much more. Then towards the end you complete 200 hours of externship. For externship Phil tries his best to place you at a location where they are hiring with hopes that when you’re done you’re offered a job. If not he will try his best to find you a job interview. I am grateful I came across this program 9 months ago and now I am a Certified Medical Assistant! Thank you to all the instructors, Phil, Mr. Wilson and Dr. Goldfinger for all of their help and...
