As part of an initiative to help meet the need for allied-health professionals in the community, Glen Oaks Community College has revamped several allied-health certificate programs so students are able to complete them in less than one year.
The need is high, said Christina Steele, director of allied health. She said employers are hiring students right out of their practicum sites. She said Glen Oaks wants to be able to offer programs that appeal to students seeking workplace-ready medical careers.
All allied-health certificate programs can be applied toward the Associate of Applied Science in Allied Health, Steele said.
The programs include coding specialist, phlebotomy technician, medical assisting and medical administrative specialist.
More information about the certificate program is available from the school’s office of admissions, 294-4253.
