START YOUR HEALTHCARE CAREER WITH ALLIED HEALTH

When you’re interested in a potential career in the healthcare industry but don’t know exactly what that might look like, an Allied Health professional certificate program is often the very best place to start. NCTC’s Health Sciences department has twelve of these one-semester offerings, all of which provide students with training to qualify for higher-wage jobs along with externship exposure in real-life medical settings that help them clarify which fields they feel most suited to and interested in.

Programs include certified nurses aide, clinical medical assistant, dental assistant, EKG/telemetry technician, electronic health records, IV therapy basics, medical administrative assistant, medical billing and coding, pharmacy technician, phlebotomy technician, physical therapy aide and sterile processing technician.

In addition to the semester of training, the Clinical Medical Assistant certification requires a 160-hour externship which takes about 60 days to complete.
