Healthcare workforce training
Online and blended programs that train people for entry-level clinical jobs such as medical assistant and pharmacy technician.
These programs teach the coursework for an allied health job, prepare students for certification exams, and in some cases arrange the hands-on externship the credential requires. Students can pay tuition themselves, and some healthcare employers sponsor training to fill open roles.
To compare programs, look at the whole route to a credential: the curriculum, exam preparation, how the externship or clinical placement is arranged, the time it takes, and the total cost.
