Biotechnology - Advanced (Co-op and Non-Co-op Version)
Cardiovascular Technology
Dental Hygiene
Massage Therapy
Medical Radiation Technology

The curriculum provides you with the opportunity to learn more about potential careers in the health sciences as you improve your skills in communications, mathematics, biology, chemistry and physics.
The intention of this program is to prepare you for further study in either advanced diploma or degree programs, rather than moving directly into a chosen industry. It is important to note that completing this program does not guarantee entry into a health or science program.
Students interested in further academic study in a health-related one-year certificate or two-year diploma program should consider applying to the Pre-Health Sciences Pathway to Certificates and Diplomas program.
