Allied Health Prep with Vermont Tech
Designed for students beginning at CCV and planning to transfer into allied health programs at other institutions, the Allied Health Preparation certificate is a pathway into degree programs such as Vermont Tech’s programs in dental hygiene, respiratory therapy, and nursing. More than 70% of recent Vermont Tech nursing graduates began their college careers at CCV.
Medical Assisting at Brattleboro Memorial Hospital (BMH)
In response to a workforce shortage, CCV and BMH developed a program to prepare qualified candidates for jobs as medical assistants. BMH provides full scholarships to eight successful applicants to the program, and recipients are hired as medical assistants at the Hospital upon completion of the program.
Healthcare Support Services at BMH and Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center
CCV partners with BHM to help with recruitment for environmental services positions. The program recently expanded to include food/nutrition services. Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center is also utilizing the program, which guarantees jobs upon successful completion.
