Health Care Technology
The Health Care Technology Certificate Program prepares graduates as
multi-skilled flexible health care workers, who work under the direction
of licensed professionals such as registered professional nurses,
medical laboratory technicians, and physicians. Students may work in a
variety of health care settings. The graduate will receive a certificate
specific to the option in the program they choose to complete, such as
electrocardiography or medical laboratory assistant (phlebotomy).
Certification exams are available for all options and students are
expected to take appropriate national certification exams. The Health
Care Technician is not intended to be a Medical Laboratory Technician or
other professional, but serves to assist health care professionals in
appropriate ways to carry out their responsibilities.
