Class of 2018 Patient Centered Continuum Curriculum

The patient-centered continuum (PCC) is a dynamic curriculum expressly designed to address the rapidly-changing health care environment. Because of this, the college reserves the right to change courses in order to provide students with the tools they will need to provide current, up-to-date medical care.

After acceptance to Heritage College, students may choose to apply to the PCC curriculum. Approximately 20% of students on the Athens campus will be chosen for the PCC.
