Special Announcement

CCBC has implemented a COVID-19 vaccination mandate for students in healthcare programs.

When starting a program, students must provide evidence of being fully vaccinated to their program coordinator. Fully vaccinated is defined as 14 days after receiving both doses of a two-dose vaccine or the single-dose vaccine for COVID-19.

There is no testing option and you will not be allowed to continue in your program if you do not provide the appropriate documentation. Instructions on how to submit proof of vaccination will be provided upon enrollment into your program courses.

Submit exemption requests for medical/religious reasons to the Dean of Continuing Education at lslezak@ccbcmd.edu.

A COVID-19 vaccine is encouraged, but not required, for students in the Child Care Provider program, Medical Front Office program, Medical Billing program, and Medical Coding program.

Health care workers are in demand!

When we think health care, we often think about doctors and nurses.

But the fact is, our complex health system requires specialized experts in many other highly specialized roles to deliver the care that patients need.

From medical assisting, to medical coding to surgical technology, these skill sets are in demand more each day.
