An Obvious Choice for Educating Today’s New Healthcare Professionals

 

With the downturn of the economy, we are witnessing a decline of many of today’s careers. However, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, the field of healthcare will continue to grow for at least the next decade. Consequently, Miami Dade College continues to be a leader in educating today’s new healthcare professionals. For those who may be unemployed, seeking a new career, and looking for an accredited, affordable short-term education option, enrolling in one of the Career Technical Education Programs in healthcare at Miami Dade College- Medical Center Campus is an “obvious choice.”

 

As the largest and most diverse college in the nation, Miami Dade College offers over 300 programs of study and several degree options, including the ever popular, short-term Career Technical Education Programs in Medical Assisting, Pharmacy Technician, Phlebotomy, Medical Coder Biller, and Massage Therapy, offered on the Medical Center Campus in the heart of Miami’s medical district. These programs prepare students of all ages, backgrounds and abilities for high skill, emerging careers by combining rigorous academics with career planning activities and pertinent career and technical skills, all in a relatively short amount of time. In keeping with the College’s mission, students are also afforded opportunities to participate in community service initiatives designed for their enrichment and the development of the community.

 

In today’s healthcare organizations, prospective employers are seeking to hire employees with specialized skills who do not require a great deal of on-the- job training and who are also capable of learning rather quickly. To address this need, Miami Dade College will continue to assist in reducing the disconnect between school and work by preparing students enrolled in short-term Career Technical Education Programs in healthcare with the fundamental skills necessary to enter today’s 21st century healthcare industry.
