The HPAC houses an ambulance simulator, a state of the art digital radiology suite, surgical suite, hospital room and an apartment for simulating emergency response scenarios. The human patient simulators (HPS) are able to accurately mimic any disease, illness or traumatic injury and are physiologically correct so they “respond” appropriately to the medical treatment that the students administer. The center’s classrooms, including one designated for distance learning, are located on the first floor and feature state of the art technology.

The Health Profession programs prepare students as independent learners who are intellectually competent, technologically proficient, skilled in the application of learning, and who share the values and common goals of our culture. In addition, our students will be prepared to compete in the global marketplace. This is a great opportunity for anyone looking to start a career in healthcare.

Our degree programs focus on preparing students with the knowledge, skills, and understanding required of healthcare careers. A crucial aspect of society, this industry is always growing, and expanding, creating a surplus of jobs in the medical field and opportunities that demand highly trained individuals.
