A health career programs information session provides an overview of pathways to a career in healthcare. Information sessions are offered, in person, virtually over Zoom, and online. Learn how our Foundations of Health (FOH) program prepares you for a wide range of careers or transfer opportunities in healthcare, such as earning certification as a nurse's aide (CNA), graduating with a Direct Care Worker or Community Health Worker certificate or a Foundations of Health degree.

If you're planning to apply to one of our selective or space-limited programs in nursing, radiologic technology, veterinary technician, you will also have the opportunity to learn more about program requirements and admission processes.

Attendance at a program-specific information session is mandatory for students applying to nursing, radiologic technology, or to the veterinary technician program.
