Healthcare Career Academy

Our clinical healthcare programs are designed for healthcare agencies interested in training their current or future employees in various allied health fields. These programs are tailored to the individual organizational needs and provide concierge service to build up the workforce. If you are interested in developing a partnership with us, please contact Richard J. Bloomer at rbloomer@memphis.edu.

These programs are NOT offered to traditional University of Memphis students at this time. Medical Assisting is offered to individuals with the next cohort beginning this spring.
