Southern Miss to Offer Healthcare Information Sessions
The University of Southern Mississippi Office of Professional Development and Educational Outreach will be offering a pair of free healthcare career information sessions at noon and 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 29 at the Hattiesburg WIN Job Center.
Each of the sessions will provide more information on the healthcare industry including the online training needed to start a career in medical transcription, medical coding and billing, pharmacy technology and medical administrative assistance.
According to a recent report by the United States Bureau of Labor and Statistics, healthcare is expected to generate 3.2 million jobs by 2018. The majority of these jobs will require less than four years of the traditional college education.
Financial assistance may be available through workforce development funds to qualified applicants. Pre-registration is required. For more information or to register call 601.266.4186 or visit http://www.careerstep.com/usm
