I am a teacher looking to switch careers. I have been considering the following: medical billing/coding, ultrasound diagnostics, or medical assistant.

Anyone here in those fields?? I'm going to meet with someone from Sanford-Brown in the city. Very excited about this new career change. I just have to figure out which would be best for me.

FYI I heard Sanford Brown is a terrible institute! I was looking into going for Medical Assistanting and when I read the reviews about the school on the website I ran away!! Just be careful and do your research!

Also.....I was so close into getting into Diagnostic Medical Sonography at Western Suffolk Boces. I've heard wonderful things about the program. Only cons its a very intense program. 2 full years, 5 days a week 9am-6pm, and it's very difficult to be accepted. I wanted to do this so bad but because of the schedule I wouldn't be able to work and support myself.

HTH!

Thank you!
