Health Professions Workshops

COC HEALTH PROFESSION PROGRAMS WORKSHOP: Provides an overview of the various health professions programs that we currently have at COC (Nursing, Medical Lab Technician, Clinical Lab Science, Certified Nursing Assistant course, Phlebotomy course, Emergency Medical Technician courses) and/or that are set to begin at COC this Fall 2025 (Physical Therapist Assistant, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, and Pharmacy Technician).  It will review the prerequisites that are required for each, so as to help students with their education planning, how to make yourself as competitive as possible, where to go to learn more about the application processes for these programs, and basic details regarding the TEAS test that will be needed for some of the programs (Nursing, PTA, OTA, and DMS).  Support will also be provided for students who are wanting to do some career exploration within the health profession programs, and some resources for possible internship or volunteer opportunities.
