Walters State Community College will host a Health Programs Open House on Thursday,
Nov. 17 from 4-6:30 p.m. in the lobby of the Clifford H. “Bo” Henry Center for Business
and Technology on the Morristown Campus.
Prospective students can meet with faculty members from all health programs: health
information management (insurance specialist, medical coding and more), nursing, occupational
therapy assistant, pharmacy technician, physical therapist assistant, respiratory
care and surgical technology.
“This is an excellent chance for both high school seniors and adults to learn more
about these in-demand programs,” said Marty Rucker, dean of health programs at Walters
State. “These lead to rewarding careers that offer financial stability.”
Rucker said time requirements for the programs range from one semester for entry-level
pharmacy tech, a year for some health information management majors and two-to-three
years for nursing, respiratory care and surgical technology.
Many Walters State students receive some form of financial aid through one or more
of several sources, including Pell grants, the Tennessee Hope Lottery Scholarship,
Tennessee Promise and Tennessee Reconnect.
Spring registration is now underway, with spring semester beginning Jan. 18.
The Open House is a drop-in event. No reservations are needed.
