Utah State University Eastern will launch three new health professions programs this fall: Medical Laboratory Technician, Pharmacy Technician, and Surgery Technician. All three programs will fill the needs of healthcare facilities and providers in southeastern Utah and the Four Corners regions.
Administrators and program directors at USU worked with local healthcare providers to determine what programs would fill their need for qualified and trained employees.
Many employers are struggling to find qualified candidates to fill positions for these jobs, and are not able to attract qualified employees from larger markets to move to rural areas where these jobs are needed.
Michele Lyman, Director for Health Professions at USU, headed up the effort to create these new programs from the Blanding campus.
USUE offers 3 new health programs in fall
