AdventHealth University (AHU) is helping to fill high-demand health care jobs throughout the U.S. through its new High School Workforce Development Certificates Program.
“AHU is committed to playing a vital role in the health care workforce pipeline, both locally and throughout the country,” said C. Josef Ghosn, Ed.D., FACHE, president and CEO of Advent- Health University. “These certificates are one important way we are developing highly skilled individuals who practice health care as a ministry, and they begin a pathway that leads to rewarding health care degrees later on in life.”
Coursework is online and self-paced, with completion possible in as little as six weeks to 25 weeks. High school juniors and seniors can take this in conjunction with their high school classes or during summer break. All courses end with a national certification exam, and the pharmacy tech professional course requires 160 clinical hours. The seven certificates offered are:
• Electronic Health Records Specialist
• Health Unit Coordinator
• Medical Billing Specialist
• Medical Front Office Administrative Specialist
• Medical Scribe Professional
• Pharmacy Technician Professional
• Project Management
“Earning industry certification as a high school junior or senior is a wonderful way to get your foot in the door to health care when you graduate,” said Olesea Azevedo, executive vice president and chief administrative officer for AdventHealth. “Once you’re exposed to the health care industry, particularly at AdventHealth’s world-class care centers, you will discover a world of innovation, compassion, and healing.”
This High School Workforce Development Certificate Program joins a high- demand workforce certificates program at AdventHealth University established in 2022. To learn more, please visit the High School Development Workforce website at Pages.AHU.edu/Medical- Online-Certificates-for-HS-Students.
