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.

There are three career options in this program: Electrocardiography and Medical Laboratory Assistant.
