ALLIED HEALTH DEADLINES EXTENDED AT SHELTON STATE

Tuscaloosa, Alabama – Deadlines have been extended for two allied health programs at Shelton State Community College. Opportunities are still available for students interested in the new health information technology program and the nursing assistant program. The new deadline for application and registration for both programs is August 19.

The health information technology (HIT) program is designed to prepare individuals to construct medical records and clinical databases, retrieve data, control the security and quality of records and information, and supervise data entry and personnel. Technicians may work in hospitals, insurance companies, or for vendors or organizations maintaining patient medical information.

The nursing assistant/home health aide certificate program prepares students to sit for the Nurse Aide Certification Exam. Students who demonstrate competency on the exam are placed on the Alabama Nurse Aide Registry.
