What our students say about AIHT!
I recently graduated from AIHT, Cardiovascular Technology program. I did my clinical hours at Windham Hospital in Willimantic where I got hired right after. During covid, I realized how important the healthcare field was so I decided that I wanted to pursue my career in the medical field. After searching for and touring a few schools in my area I chose the AIHT ultrasound program. Lauren and Ravish were very helpful explaining all the steps and processes. As a single mother, AIHT’s flexible hybrid program allowed me to balance my personal life and school schedule really well. Upon completion of my clinical hours I felt really confident about my knowledge and felt comfortable taking the CCI board exam. I scored a 845 and officially became Registered Cardiac Sonographer. Finally, I want to thank all of the instructors and staff at AIHT for enabling me to start my new journey in the medical field as a Cardiac Sonographer.
I’m a recent graduate of the Cardiovascular Technologist program at AIHT and the school facilitated me every step of the way to obtain a full time Echo Tech position at a great hospital! I was hired right after my externship and couldn’t be happier. This goes without saying but as a student you MUST put in the work and you have to WANT it. The staff and faculty will work with you and guide you throughout your journey. I highly recommend AIHT to advance your healthcare career.
I started this school without really knowing what to expect. Since the beginning, from the teachers to the rest of the staff members, had been really helpful throughout my time there, even after my graduation they still check on me to see how I was doing with my job search and what they could do to help me with my career. The whole experience had been more than great. The classes, both online and in-person, really prepared me for the real world.
Today I started my first job in the field I studied (CARDIOVASCULAR), and I couldn’t be more happy. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity and all the knowledge throughout my course.
I’m very happy I found AIHT school which fit into my schedule and was close to my house. All the professors and administrators were good and helpful. I’m very THANKFUL for having KRISTEN & DONALD as ECHO scanning instructors because they really benefited me and made a great impact in my career. They are very knowledgeable and have plenty years of experience. They were very helpful prepared me for the hospital environment. Stamford hospital crew were amazing and I can’t thank them enough for helping me pursue my true dream. I’m overall thankful for the program. It is deff not easy just be prepared to put in the time, effort, and to study hard.
