New partnership expands health care options at OCC

SYRACUSE — Onondaga Community College (OCC) and Broome Community College (BCC) are launching a new partnership involving three health care programs.

The initiative will allow Onondaga County students to earn a clinical laboratory technician associate’s degree, a histological technician certificate, or a computed tomography certificate without leaving the area. Students will take courses at OCC and then work with BCC to complete necessary clinical work in the Syracuse area.

Students will receive their degrees from BCC.

The programs prepare students for a range of careers in health care, including hematology, clinical chemistry, clinical microbiology, work with pathologists in aiding patient diagnosis, and medical imaging. The programs will be available beginning in this fall.

OCC will host two information sessions on the new partnership at 11:15 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday at the Whitney Applied Tech Center in room 101.
