When is our next meeting?????

Some of you have been asking about when our next meeting will be. I'm afraid we are still waiting for administrative approval. Our Pre-health Academy is part of the Career Pathways program that is being developed and introduced to our school. Unfortunately, all of the academies have been temporarily suspended until the program can be put in place. Don't worry, though, we will be back in full swing soon. Also, I still can help you get into the healthcare program you are interested in and also help you with scholarships. Come see me if you have any questions or need some advice about picking a program or picking your classes. Remember I'm in C207 B, so come say hello anytime!

I'll post flyers in the cafe as soon as I find out when our next meeting is. Keep smiling!

Tour of the NEW medical assisting facilities

A Medical Assisting tour is scheduled for Wednesday 12 Nov at 10:30am. Please meet in the lobby of the Tomeu building between 10:00 and 10:10 - we will leave promptly at 10:15 to walk over to the Medical Assisting area. If you are interested in ANY medical field, you should attend this tour because you can begin as a medical assistant and then branch into other fields of healthcare. If you need to work to be able to attend classes, medical assisting is the way to go! It's a good paying job and often employers will pay for your classes. It can't hurt to check out this program, so please meet us in the lobby by 10:10am.

Is your CPR certification current????

CPR certification usually only lasts two years. Get out your CPR card and check your date! You should remain CPR certified if you are planning on a healthcare career. If you need to take a certification class, go to IRSC's website (see below) to find out which class will fit into your schedule! Or just ask your Pre-health academy coordinator or facilitator.
