This program will allow your students to learn about various health-related careers including:

Cardio-Vascular Technology – both Sonography and Invasive – what are the differences?

Medical Laboratory Technology

Nursing - both LPN and RN

Radiologic Technology and Radiology Informatics – what are the differences and how do they work together?

Surgical Technology

NEWS INTRO VIDEO

In today’s news, Hong Kong’s Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department has made the conclusion that pet cats and dogs are testing positive for the coronavirus pathogen. However, interesting enough the furry friends cannot pass the virus onto humans, and there’s no evidence suggesting that they can become sick from the virus either. However, patients of coronavirus are still advised to put their pets in quarantine and not kiss their pets as really you shouldn’t kiss anyone if you have coronavirus.

On this day in history in 1946, Winston Churchill delivers his famous Iron Curtain speech. Following the destruction of post-WWI, Churchill was condemning the actions of the Soviet Union and their expansionist policies. Famously, Churchill identified the anxiety-fueled divide between western and eastern Europe. This speech is considered one of the first “announcements” of the beginning of the long and arduous Cold War.
