Walking through the Health Sciences Center on the Decatur campus you may encounter what looks like an ambulance crew helping an injured person, an operating team with a patient undergoing surgery, or a hospital ward where nurses are checking patient IVs and giving injections. You also might see a physical therapy clinic where PTAs are applying treatments and teaching client mobility techniques, or discover the dental hygiene clinic where real clients are having their teeth cleaned.
On the Huntsville campus, in the Math, Science, and CIS building, nursing students practice patient skills in simulation classrooms and medical laboratory technician students use microscopes and other testing equipment to learn how to analyze body fluids and examine cells for diagnostic purposes.
At CCC, health students acquire vital knowledge and skills through innovative teaching, state-of-the-art simulation technology, and practical experiences through hands-on training at health facilities across the Tennessee Valley.
Enthusiastic, highly qualified, and committed faculty prepare students to meet their career goals and workforce demands. All programs are accredited by national and/or state accrediting commissions and prepare graduates to be successful on licensure and certification exams.
Healthcare is one of the largest economic sectors in the US, employing one out of every eight American workers. Education in any healthcare profession is demanding, but if you are looking for a meaningful career with good employment opportunities in a field where you can make a difference in people’s lives, a health sciences program might be the right choice for you.
All health sciences programs at Calhoun Community College meet the state education requirements for certification and/or licensure in their field of study in the state of Alabama. Calhoun Community College has not determined if the same programs at Calhoun Community College meet the state education requirements in any other state, any U.S. Territory, or the District of Columbia.
