The Associate in Applied Science in Healthcare Services is designed for individuals working in a health-related area who have obtained, or are working toward a technical certification, license, etc. Many of these students will be looking for a pathway to allow them better upward mobility in their professions or education to help them become a certified health professional. Students initially finish a program at Mountainland Technical College to develop a portfolio that presents licenses and work-related certifications as well as provides a rationale for receiving technical, experiential credit. Students matriculating into UVU’s AAS program will add to their portfolio core courses that provide fundamental knowledge of health professions, human anatomy and physiology, as well as elective courses; students enhance their technical knowledge and skills in one or more health-related areas (e.g. surgical technician, medical assistant, and medical billing and coding).
