Health and Wellness
Health and Wellness careers are excellent ways to give back to your community and can be very personally rewarding. Whether you are considering a field in which you provide direct care to patients and clients, or you are considering a related field, UTTC has an option for you.
*Health Information Technology (HIT) - Are you interested in a challenging and dynamic career in health care but aren't sure you want direct contact with patients?

Graduates of the HIT AAS program are eligible to write the national examination for the RHIT credentials.
*Nutrition and Foodservice (NUT) - Graduates of the Nutrition and Foodservice program are prepared to work in WIC programs, diabetes and wellness programs, hospital or elderly care food service, casino kitchens or private restaurants. Students have an opportunity to become National Serv Safe certified and credentialed as Certified Dietary Managers by passing a national exam.

The course is culturally relevant to American Indians and adapts to specific community health issues. Please contact lcarlson@uttc.edu for further information.
