My experience
I feel like personally HTA is a helpful option for someone who doesn't have time to go back to school and requires flexibility. Online programs in general are kind of a teach yourself thing so having discipline and motivation are important. The staff at HTA are very helpful. When I first enrolled I did kinda feel as though it was impossible to get ahold of anyone ,but it has gotten a lot better. I believe this program is new and still growing but I definitely endorse it to be a good school with remarkable instructors and helpful advisors. Now the down side is with this school you wont receive help with finding clinical placement this is something you have to do on your own. It is very frustrating so before you apply i would advise you to look into hospitals/ASCs around you, ask around and see what kinda options you have as far as clinical rotations go. Im enrolled in the Surgical Tech Program and I am in the process of starting my second externship. As long as you stay on top of your education and advocate for yourself you will do great. I'm not done with my education journey but I am glad I choose HTA I have learned a lot.
