Continuing Education Moves to BCI

The Human, Health, and Public Services Continuing Education program recently was moved to the Business and Community Institute (BCI).  Current program offerings involve training healthcare providers in advanced cardiac life support and pediatric advanced life support, as well as a cardiopulmonary resuscitation course.  A few other special topics courses are offered in conjunction with the Public Services Department.

The transition to the BCI was completed in September 2009. The last few months has involved refocusing the Continuing Education areas and considering other course offering outside healthcare.  At present, the majority of the Continuing Education clients come from Sparrow Hospital, Ingham Regional Medical Center, and local fire departments, including those in Delta Township and Meridian Township.

Continuing education enrollment increased 55% from fall 2008 to fall 2009.  The BCI plans to grow and expand continuing education in healthcare as well as other areas. It will continue to collaborate with the academic departments to build alliances that will maintain professional competencies of graduates throughout their careers.
