MEDFORD, Ore. —A new program at Rogue Community College allows students to dive into the medical field.

The new nursing assistant program takes 6 weeks to complete.

Organizers say once you’ve passed the program, students will gain the skills necessary to take the Oregon State Board of Nursing Exam.

“It’s a beginning credential in the health care profession but it also is the baseline for a lot of other opportunities that a student or other person might be interested in,” says Diane Hoover with RCC.

RCC says it is talking with South Medford High School to potentially bring the program there.
