汤头条app has announced a new expedited healthcare program that allows students to earn three professional certifications in less than five months.
The Fast-Track Healthcare Bundle Program prepares students for healthcare careers with three in-demand credentials endorsed by the National Healthcareer Association庐. Certifications include Clinical Medical Assistant, EKG Technician, and Phlebotomy Technician.
The program provides students with quick entry into a growing field while helping alleviate a healthcare worker shortage in our region, according to Christy Lyons, director of Corporate and Community Education.
鈥淚t is clear from our meetings with local healthcare facilities that there鈥檚 an urgent need for medical assistants,鈥� Lyons said. 鈥淏y condensing this program down to 20 weeks, we will be able to get certified medical assistants into the workforce quickly.鈥�
In addition to the bundled program resulting in all three certifications, North Central is offering stand-alone courses for EKG Technician and Phlebotomy Technician.
North Central Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Stephen Strom said the program鈥檚 condensed format is transferable to other academic areas.
鈥淲e are excited to work with our local employers on additional fast-track programs leading to employment for our residents and trained employees in high-demand industries,鈥� Strom said.
