Important Disclosures

At Medical Career Institute, our programs are designed to be accelerated and rigorous, combining classroom instruction, lab training, and clinical experience. We provide resources, guidance, and support to help you succeed—but your personal effort and commitment are critical to your success.

• Job Placement: MCI cannot guarantee employment after graduation. We provide training and career guidance, but securing a job depends on your skills, professionalism, and effort. It may take six months or longer, and initial roles are often per-diem, temporary, or contract positions.

• Credentialing Exams: Success on certification or licensing exams cannot be guaranteed. Your results will depend on your own study habits, preparation, and dedication.

• Student Responsibility: To succeed, you must stay focused, manage your time effectively, and remain fully committed to the program.​​​​​​​
