I took the Clinical Medical Assisting Class offered by CalRegional also known as HarperRand CalRegional. It was $2,995, for 8 weeks, in person 9AM-1PM. Textbook not included (I have a physical MA Textbook available for sale for this class, if anyone wants to buy it off of me lmao! Not kidding either!) Navy Blue scrubs only is the uniform color you'll need for the class. My instructor was Ms Nina, although we were able to meet and be taught by the then, CalRegional Manager but now Instructor again, Melony for our class for a few days. Melony is a great instructor for the few days we had her. She taught us a lot. She is also very approachable and it was easy to get ahold of her. She was always responsive when I needed to get in contact with her towards the end of my class when she was placing me for my Externship. I was actually very lucky to be apart of the last of her students she placed for Externship before she stepped down as manager and became an Instructor again. Now Kathi is the current CalRegional manager. Let's get back to my class, as I said my Instructor was Ms Nina and I can't say enough good about her. She is the best! She's honest and open, her teaching methods are very hands on. She's funny as hell and super relatable too! She gave us a lot of insight on what to expect in the real world and couldn't stress safety enough! Our class was small, but made the learning experience all the more better. She taught us all so well and really made the time to help each one of us to be successful and absorb and understand what she was teaching us. Healthcare and the world in general need more people like Ms Nina! Thanks to her, I scored so well on my AMCA Exam and feel more confident than ever in my ability to be an amazing CMA. Note for future students: get all your prerequisites in by the first week! (Except for the drug test obviously, but at least pay for it and upload your receipt) Don't wait until midterm. Get it done by the first or second week. That way when it comes time for Kathi to place you at your externship, you can get placed sooner rather than later. I did all my pre reqs by the first week and got my externship start date for 3 days after my last day of class. If you wait til last minute to upload all your pre reqs and you'll end up being placed at externship later, because CalRegional technically has up to 60 days to place you. Also, pay your tuition in full so that way once you finish your externship and email your booklet to CalRegional you can immediately get your Certificate! If not, you don't receive it until you're paid in full. read more

See all

Too much to go over but this site in Stockton is terrible. Not only did they teach the skills wrong and ignored several students concerns and complaints, but they did nothing to resolve any of it. I requested a investigation and to have the skills re-taught expressed the discomfort and the anxiety that was caused from the tones and the disrespect from the teachers' frustration being she had no assistance with teaching skills but overall terrible treatment. Still waiting for a call from the regional managers manager as she filtered my complaints to avoid backlash on herself and the pm staff. Hoping this will raise attention to get the call I have been awaiting. read more

I joined CalRegional back in 2021 for the phlebotomy course and returned again in 2024 for MA training in the afternoons. Let me just, I don't think I would have received the same support elsewhere. Special shout out to my passionate MA instructors/mentors Ms Bella and Daniel for being who they are and uplifting every student that walks into their class. Besties, they're THE BEST! read more

I did my medical assistant program here about 2 years ago with Daniel and Bella and the experience was great. They are amazing at what they do and they are very attentive and supportive to all students. I definitely recommend doing your MA program with them! read more

I was enrolled in clinical Medical Assisting Class and I all I can say is that the class was amazing. Ms. Bella is an exceptional teacher she explains everything with accuracy if we didn't understand something she will explain in another way for us to understand fully. Our instructor Daniel was very professional and he explained our skills with detail to be available to understand and for us to perform them accurately. They both make sure we are ready to succeed! read more

If I had million stars to give her I would Ms Bella was my instructor for MA evening class . I really understood the way she taught the class if I didn't she patiently used a different method to help her students understand . Very professional instructor she made me want to pursue my studies furthermore . Not only was this a class but all my classmates where really helpful. Everyone was really understanding and made the class feel safe to express one's feelings . Ms Bella prepped us for every module all the material she gave us helped us pass the AMCA. Tip study her study materials for every quiz. Skills instructor Mr Daniel also prepared us for the skills test . I always wonder how he memorize learn every skill step by step . Mr Daniel was extremely motivational very understanding and not only that he had a lot of patience. I been to two community colleges and never experience learning experience as I did in MS Bella class . I know for a fact she gave me all the necessary gear / knowledge to succeed in the real world . I saw this class as a second opportunity for me . I saw this class like a home . I enjoyed this learning experience very much and would like to encourage everyone to take the class you won't regret it . read more

Came here to say I absolutely LOVED my experience with my education at CalRegional! 100% of it was because of who they chose to instruct my class. Melanie was an absolute dream, when it comes to who you'd want to feed you such knowledge as an instructor, and how you'd want to be treated she hit the mark on it all. It's a very fast course and by all means far from easy, but with all the tools you're given, and on top of it the best person in your corner rooting for you, the sky's literally not even the limit. My advice is to, go in and take your fears and throw them away, you're entering and environment that's truly judgment free and supportive. Ask all the questions and learn as much as you can. They say you wind up where you're meant to be, nothing will pass you by. I 1000% believe that because I know my class was meant for me, and I found family in ten complete strangers. So don't stand in your own way, and block your blessings because you don't believe in yourself. Take the leap, and the rest will come, especially with someone who will make sure you fly, being the instructor. The journey awaits. If I could I'd start it all over again. read more
