Graduates of two 欧美视频 certificate programs were recognized at a Sept. 20 ceremony at UCM鈥檚 Lee鈥檚 Summit campus. Through these programs, adult learners earn industry-recognized certifications and are prepared for careers in the growing healthcare field.

At the ceremony, graduates of UCM鈥檚 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and Certified Medication Technician (CMT) programs were honored after completing both classroom work and clinicals. The CMT students started their program in July. The CNA graduates were enrolled in sessions beginning in June. 

Thanks to collaborations with the community funding partners, qualifying students are eligible for scholarships for these courses as well as several other UCM workforce programs. Both programs operate out of UCM鈥檚 Center for Workforce and Professional Education, located at the Lee鈥檚 Summit campus. Most courses can be completed in approximately two to three months, depending on how many classes are offered during each week.

At the ceremony, the CNA and CMT graduates were encouraged to continue their education and advance in their careers. UCM offers undergraduate nursing programs which include the traditional BSN program as well as an online RN to BSN option. Graduate nursing programs are also available.
 

DeAira Walker, a September CNA graduate, said she was well prepared for the Certified Nursing Assistant exam through the certificate course.

鈥淯CM鈥檚 CNA program taught me the skills and basics that apply to many different healthcare settings,鈥� added Walker, who currently works at Ascension Living in Overland Park, Kan. 鈥淏ecause of UCM鈥檚 CNA program, I am now a Certified Nursing Assistant and I have work opportunities that I wouldn鈥檛 have otherwise.鈥�
