What students say...

"IHOC is a good start to thinking about where you want to go in the medical field. It really helps that the teacher that teaches has been in the medical field in some form. The work we do in this class sticks with us always because we spend enough time on a topic, so we really understand. WE also wear uniforms in class, which makes it feel like we are at work and it prepares u s for when we have an actual job. This class also allows us to socialize with other students and make new friends."
