Allied Health Professions Week

Camden County College will celebrate National Allied Health Professions Week with a series of information opportunities on the Blackwood Campus from Nov. 7 to 10.

National Allied Health Professions Week recognizes the contributions of the more than 200 healthcare professions across the United States. It is marked every November by those working, teaching and studying within the various disciplines of the healthcare field.

One goal of the observance is to raise awareness of the career prospects that exist within the allied health professions. To that end, Camden County College’s Division of Math, Science and Health Careers will be sponsoring information tables staffed by faculty and academic coordinators throughout the week.

The tables will be set up on the second floor of CCC’s College Community Center, which is located on the Blackwood Campus. They will be staffed from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily.

Although general allied health careers information will be available throughout the week, each day will focus on different disciplines:

* Monday, Nov. 7: Medical laboratory technology and paramedic science.

* Tuesday, Nov. 8: Respiratory therapy.

* Wednesday, Nov. 9: Dental assisting and nursing.

* Thursday, Nov. 10: Dental hygiene and paramedic science.

Any current or prospective Camden County College student is welcome to explore their allied health interests and study options. Registration is available now for Fall 2005 courses that begin in November and Winter 2005-06 courses that begin in December. Registration for Spring 2006 courses that begin in January, March and April starts Nov. 14.

For additional information, contact coordinator Patricia Chappell by telephone at (856) 227-7200, ext. 4330, or via e-mail at pchappell@camdencc.edu.
