To introduce this new training opportunity, a free one-hour information session will be held from 6:00pm–7:00pm, Thursday, January 13th, 2011, in the McReynolds Building, Room 219. The free information session is open to anyone looking to learn more about opportunities in allied health, inquire about prerequisites, ask questions and get answers.
