Verified Reviews
I came from retail with no healthcare background. The OSCAR and Accuro training made me instantly employable — I had two offers before my practicum ended and now work at a family practice in Mississauga.
Being able to study online while raising my kids was the only way this worked for me. Live classes, recorded for flexibility, and the practicum placement was seamless. I'm now a medical admin at a specialist clinic.
OHIP billing felt intimidating on day one and second-nature by graduation. The instructors are working professionals — they know what clinics actually hire for.
