Institute of Medical and Business Careers - Pittsburgh Campus — Local services in Penn Hills

I enrolled in the online medical coding and billing program a few years ago (2018) and it's taken me this long to calm down with this "school". To be fully transparent, the online program was a joke. Students were plagiarizing left and right, logging in from cell phones only (a good bit of the students in my class were from a homeless shelters), and I did voice my option to the Dean upon my departure and nothing was done. Yet I'm paying back over $10k in student loans for a program that did NOT prepare me for the testing I had to endure in order to become a certified medical coder and biller. I wish there was a way to fight these student loans, but I'd also like to warn others of this program not being what I expected, the games that went on that staff clearly knew, lack of preparation and owing money in the end. Maybe the actual classroom is better, but at this point, my expectations are be killed.

And please, I understand and have overcome adversity myself. The fact that some use that as a crutch is unreal, like your response to what I wrote. What about the main point of the students plagiarizing and NOTHING was done. NOTHING. Maybe the news would like to report on this? I'll be writing...

I've been attending this school for dental assisting for about 7 months now and it's definitely grown on me. After completing four years of college at a different school, I felt dissatisfied with my major and my education because I didn't feel prepared to enter the job field at all. In contrast, IMC offers the hands on training needed to pass the certifications to ultimately pave the path for the career you signed up in the first place. Classes are taught by experienced professionals who dedicate a lot of time and energy to make sure that their students are prepared for their externship and their future job. The small class sizes enable students to have a close relationship with their teachers. IMC is the type of school where you go to learn as much as you possibly can to prepare you for a job, but it's fast-paced and requires professionalism, hard work, and motivation to get to class every day to finish...

I been here at this school since 2019 I started out doing phlebotomy. I couldn’t proceed with that program because of a death in my family , I went back January 2nd 2020 for dental Assistant and I love it.! Although the pandemic hit us hard , I continued to push it to the limit and now I’m doing internship within a few weeks I’ll be graduating. Proud to say that I did this with a lot of stress and complications. But through it all I made it and pushed through . I love the school and staff members . Couldn’t of asked for a better team here at IMBC ! With that being said I just want to take the time out and say Thankyou all for helping me...
