About Delta College
Delta College is a public college which was originally founded in 1961. Delta's main campus is located in University Center, Michigan while three separate regional extension centers are operated in Bay City, Midland, and Saginaw, Michigan.
Delta College offers the following healthcare-related courses:
Dental Assisting
As a graduate of this program, you will be prepared to assist the dentist in diagnostic, operative, restorative, preventive and surgical procedures, as well as perform independent duties once you pass the registered dental assistant exam.
Health Foundations Advanced Certificate
The Health Foundations Advanced Certificate was designed to offer you a broad knowledge base in applied healthcare. Upon completion, you will have the ability to take the State examination to become a Certified Nursing Assistant which can lead to employment in acute or long-term care facilities.
Phlebotomy Technician
Delta's Phlebotomy Technician job training program prepares you to work in a clinical setting as a phlebotomist in accordance with procedures established by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards. Diagnostic techniques, clinical laboratory technology and automated instruments have greatly increased the volume of, and demand for, medical laboratory testing performed by phlebotomists.
Nursing Assistant
This program, and all CNA programs, are regulated by the Federal and State governments, which require all programs to focus on the long-term care facility setting. The government also requires every CNA program to be a minimum of 75 hours in length. Our program is 116 hours long.
Practical Nurse
This program is approximately one year in length. The Delta College PN program is excellent at preparing students to sit for the LPN State Board Exam with an exceptionally high pass rate. Once a student has graduated and received their State Board of Nursing license to be a licensed Practical Nurse, they can work in a variety of settings such as acute care hospitals, long-term care facilities, doctor office and home health care. The practical nurse assists physicians and registered nurses in the development and modification of patient care plans, performs basic tests, and assists with medications and other treatments.
