The
UVICELL Center on the St. Thomas Campus recognized the achievements of 18
students who successfully completed coursework to enter or enhance their skills
in the healthcare industry on Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2014. Fourteen students
graduated from the Dialysis Technician program, and four from the Clinical
Medical Assistants (CMA) program. These programs were developed to address the
changing trends in the healthcare industry resulting in the dislocation of
allied healthcare workers.
“As
the healthcare industry continues to evolve, we have to be ready to provide
continuous training so that the territory can keep abreast of those changes,
meet federal requirements and provide quality healthcare,” said Ilene Garner,
Director of the UVICELL Center. “We are extremely pleased that these
graduates have taken this important first step in meeting the demand for
skilled healthcare workers."
