Allied Health Orientations

Our health programs are among the most popular programs at Aims. Students interested in each health program are REQUIRED to attend an orientation where information about the program, application processes, waitlists, and careers will be presented. Students are then welcome to meet with an Allied Health Sciences Academic Advisor and enroll in classes.
