Parkland’s Health Professions career programs are designed to give students
leading-edge skills in caring for the well being of others, through hands-on
training in up-to-date labs, classrooms, area clinics, and local hospitals. HP instructors are professionals in their fields and are required to keep current in their knowledge. All the degree programs and many of the certificate programs are fully accredited and prepare students for transfer, licensing exams, or whatever they need to move ahead in their chosen healthcare fields.

Many of the health professions programs require a State Police background check prior to or at the start of the first course in a program. A positive finding related to a felony conviction may limit clinical placement and employment.
