Mount San Jacinto College
The mission of Mt. San Jacinto College is to provide quality, educationally enriching experiences, programs and opportunities designed to empower students to serve as productive citizens in a dynamic and complex world.
Allied Health
MSJC offers several career options in the health field, ranging from medical office assistant through nursing. Every interested student should begin with AH-070 (Survey of Health Occupations) which describes the careers available in the health field. Several careers can be entered with a very short preparation. For instance, the Certified Nursing Assistant, Home Health Aide (CNA/HHA), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and the Medical Office Assistant programs take a qualified applicant only one or two semesters to complete. Short-term classes can provide interested students the opportunity to experience the field of allied health services and decide if this is best for them without long-term commitments. The career-ladder approach to education enables students to set short-term attainable goals which can be met prior to proceeding to the next career goal.
