PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (May 24, 2017) — Big Sandy Community and Technical College’s (BSCTC) Workforce Solutions division and Pikeville Medical Center (PMC) have partnered to offer a new, accelerated Healthcare Fast path program.
The 10-week program will start June 1 on the Pikeville campus of BSCTC and will offer credentials in the high-demand healthcare fields such as nurses’ aide, phlebotomy and pharmacy technician.
“This is an exciting fast path that can lead to employment opportunities or jump start someone towards an advanced credential,” said Kelli Hall Chaney, dean of career education and workforce development at Big Sandy Community and Technical College. “We hope that the bundling of courses will encourage participants to look at careers as a practical nurse, nurse and respiratory therapy.”
Students will earn more than five college credit hours during the course. At the completion of the program, PMC will host a hiring event for participants.
