Multi-Skilled Health Technology (9325)

Lakeland's Multi-Skilled Health Technology degree program is designed to meet the ever changing needs of the healthcare delivery system by preparing students with cross-training in more than one healthcare skill. Students will learn to perform more than one function, often in more than one discipline within the allied health professions.

Students are required to select at least two specialization areas in addition to the general education and health technology core courses. Many of these specialization areas have national certification or state licensure. Students who complete these specialization requirements will be eligible to sit for the appropriate certification or licensure examinations.

Since there are many combinations of areas of specialization, students should contact the program director to discuss their career goal to plan for their curriculum.

Students must complete a minimum of 62-65 credits as follows:

• 20 credit hours of general education core courses
• 12-15 credits from related core courses
• 30 credit hours from technical electives, including completion of at least two areas of specialization

Students who are not seeking the Associate of Applied Science Degree or students who already have a health technology degree but would like to obtain additional credentials in certain skills can enroll in individual certificate programs for each of the specialization areas.

Students must meet specific admission requirements for this program. Interested students should contact the Counseling and Advising Center for details about applying for admission to the program.

Drug Testing may be requested in accordance with clinical affiliation requirements and/or for patient/student health and safety.

A minimum GPA of 2.0 and a "C" grade or higher is required in all multi-skilled health technology and general education courses as listed in the curriculum guide for the AAS degree in multi-skilled health technology.

Certificates are also available.
