Informational meeting planned for those interested in Wallace State health programs
HANCEVILLE, Ala. — So you weren’t able to get into the health program of your choice at Wallace State Community College? Or maybe you’re just not sure in what area you would like to study. Don’t give up. You have a second opportunity to learn about other options for your health care career.
The Health Science Division will hold a Second Opportunity Meeting on Thursday, June 25, at 10 a.m., on the 12th floor of the James C. Bailey Center. Representatives from numerous health programs will be on hand to talk about their programs and help students apply for entry for the Fall 2015 semester.
“Students may be unaware of the options available in the Health Science division,” Dean German said. “Students that prefer direct contact with patients might do well with hands-on programs such as Emergency Medical Services, Medical Assistant, Patient Care Specialist, Therapeutic Massage, and Polysomnography. Non-traditional Health Science programs still available that also have direct interaction with clients are Child Development and Human Services. Students desiring a more behind the scene career might consider Clinical Lab Technician, Pharmacy Technician, Health Information Technology, or Medical Coding.
“This Second Opportunity meeting is to let students know they do have options for this fall,” she added. “Rather than thinking there’s nothing they can do for the next year, they have the opportunity to enter other programs that will help them reach their ultimate goal of employment or possibly even lead them down a path they hadn’t considered before.”
Health Science programs that will be represented at Second Opportunity include:
- Child Development
- Clinical Lab Technician
- Emergency Medical Services
- Health Information Technology/Medical Coding
- Human Services
- Medical Assistant
- Patient Care Specialist
- Pharmacy Technology
- Therapeutic Massage
