We are actively identifying certification opportunities for our pre-health students:
EMT Certification
Through a generous collaboration with Mission College and the Cowell Health Center, we are offering an online lecture course with an in-person skills lab on SCU’s campus. This course will be offered in the Fall and Winter/Spring to provide EMT training for 50 students per year. With our own EMT-equipped laboratory, we can dramatically increase the number of students who can complete this training and have a resource for recertification as well.
Check the Health Professions Camino page or email Dr. McNelis for more information.

Other On-Campus training
We are exploring training opportunities that will ensure that our students are functioning effectively in their work in clinical placements and post-graduation employment experiences.
For example, we are offering an Intermediate Spanish for Healthcare course starting Winter and Spring quarters in 2024.
- Emphasis will be on communication, cultural fluency and medical Spanish
- Highly capable students will be able to pursue certification as Medical Interpreters
- Possibility for training in other languages in the future with a healthcare focus
- Medical Interpretation is a certification that our students can use to gain clinical experience and post-graduate training
