Welcome to the Southwest Florida College
Allied Health Website!
SWFC Allied Health students can graduate with diplomas in Medical Assistant or Medical Billing & Coding Technology, Associate's degrees in Health Information Technology, Medical Lab Technician, Medical Assistant or Surgical Technician, or with a Bachelor's degree in Health Care Administration.
Unlike other colleges, SWFC provides hands-on experience by allowing students to practice on each other in our Medical Assistant labs rather than only using simulators. This helps students overcome the anxiety that is part of learning a new skill.
New Bachelor's Degree program in Health Care Administration! The bachelor’s degree in Health Care Administration will provide students with a foundation of general management skills in health care and health care services such as: finances, public policy, communication, cultural diversity, and organizational behavior.
This interdisciplinary degree will enable the student to seek employment in an entry-level position in health care administration or a management training position.
New Port Charlotte campus is already expanding! Secure industries are a rare thing these days, but with the American population curve aging, the demand for qualified medical practitioners has never been higher.
At Southwest Florida College, our medical programs will give you the tools to remain in a rewarding career for many years to come.
Southwest Florida College is listening to employers! We have an advisory board for each one of our programs that is comprised of representatives from local leading businesses. We meet with our advisory boards on a regular basis to find out what employers expect from our graduates. Below is a list of organizations that make up the Allied Health program's advisory board.
