Around Our Schools
 Camden County Technical Schools |
Recognizing the need for medical professionals at both desks and bedsides, Camden County Technical Schools' health and medical services program allows students to choose a non-patient care career track or a directpatient care track at the end of their sophomore year. The non-patient care option builds skills needed for in-demand careers such as medical office assistants/ receptionists, medical transcriptionists, and unit secretaries.
 Bergen County Technical Schools |
Students at Bergen County Technical Schools use a remote presence robot to communicate with patients and staff at Hackensack University Medical Center (HUMC). Technology enables students to use the interactive robot to mentor pediatric patients at the medical center.
 Monmouth County Vocational School District |
The Academy for Allied Health Sciences in Union County is meeting the demand for health care professionals with an accelerated academic and career program that enables students to earn an associate’s degree from Union County College at the same time they complete their high school coursework. Partnerships with Rutgers University and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey put students in this innovative program on track to finish medical school one or two years ahead of their peers.
"Only when I look back at my high school career and compare it to the high school experiences of some of my college friends do I realize just how truly lucky I was to wind up at the Academy of Allied Health and Science. When I first started high school I realized I was part of something unique." Terry Kennedy Class of 2002, Monmouth County Academy of Allied Health and Science
