The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Outlook Handbook (2010-2011) says that career opportunities in health care continue to grow at a pace much faster than the average for other professions. Health care careers are poised to expand even more as technological advances, including electronic health records (EHR) and the growth of an aging population lead to an increased need for health care workers, according to an email from Medtech.

The Tucker campus is located at 4053 LaVista Road, Suite 100. Three shifts of classes are available, morning, afternoon and evening. For more information, please call 678-218-0600.
