Please see important vaccination information for students enrolled in Health-Related programs.

Vaccinations are not required to enroll in FTCC health-related programs. However, if you are UNVACCINATED, it is possible you may not be able to complete a health-related program. Most of our Health programs require a clinical rotation with an affiliated healthcare provider. Some clinical affiliates and providers require proof of vaccination to participate in clinical rotation. If you have not received the Covid-19 vaccination, discussing your vaccination status with the program leaders before enrollment is strongly recommended.

Health Programs

The Corporate & Continuing Education Health programs provide students with the training and preparation needed for a career in the healthcare industry. Programs include Cardiovascular Monitor Technician, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) courses, Phlebotomy, and Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) courses.
