I cannot say enough amazing things about my medical assistant instructors, Sancie & Jim! From day one, they created an environment that was welcoming, encouraging, and truly motivating. They don’t just teach the material — they make sure you understand it and feel confident applying it in real-life clinical settings. Sancie is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and supportive. She takes the time to break down complex concepts in a way that actually makes sense, and she genuinely cares about each student’s success. You can tell she has a passion for healthcare and for teaching. Jim brings such great energy and real-world experience into the classroom. He challenges you to think critically while still making learning enjoyable. His hands-on teaching style really helped build my confidence in clinical skills. Together, Sancie & Jim make an outstanding team. They push you to be your best while always reminding you that you can do this. Because of them, I feel prepared, capable, and excited to step into the medical field. If you’re considering this program, just know you’ll be learning from two of the best instructors you could ask for! Read less

Jim and Sancie are amazing Instructors. Both are very knowledgeable of the job and will do anything and everything to make sure you feel confident in class. You can ask any sort of question without hesitation, they are very patient, understanding instructors. Only complaints about the school overall is how us students are not allowed to be in contact with the instructors. No email or phone. Which makes zero sense in a school/learning environment. Another complaint is also having more than two instructors in room. Way too many chefs in the kitchen. Jim and Sancie are the perfect duo and I feel like it should remain that way. Read less

My experience in the new Medical Assistant program at Lakewood has truly felt like a dream. I especially want to thank Instructor Sancie and Instructor Jim for their incredible dedication. You can see Sancie’s experience reflected in every class, and the love and passion Jim brings to teaching are truly admirable. I’ve been fortunate to complete my externship at Sancie’s clinic, AfterOurs in Littleton, and I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity and the trust they have placed in me. I’ve always held back when speaking English since it is my second language, but thanks to their patience and the way they explain every procedure an MA needs to perform, I feel more confident every day as I move forward in this new stage of my life.
