Whether you're looking to expand your clinical skills, meet continuing education requirements, or earn a specialized certificate, our programs are designed to help you take the next step in your professional journey with confidence.

PACE’s offerings include the Registered Nurse First Assistant (RNFA) Certificate Program, designed for experienced perioperative nurses seeking to advance their surgical skills and take on expanded responsibilities in the operating room. This comprehensive program provides in-depth training in preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative care, allowing registered nurses to assist more effectively during surgical procedures. Graduates of this program are prepared to meet national standards for RNFA practice and contribute more meaningfully to surgical teams.

We also offer a Phlebotomy Certificate Program for individuals interested in launching a career in health care or expanding their skill set. This hands-on program covers essential topics such as venipuncture techniques, infection control, specimen handling, safety procedures and patient communication. It prepares students for entry-level roles in hospitals, clinical labs, diagnostic centers and physician offices.

In addition, PACE provides continuing education opportunities for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants throughout the year. These courses are designed to help licensed professionals stay current with evolving best practices, treatment protocols, and industry standards, while also meeting state licensure renewal requirements.

All programs are led by experienced instructors and delivered in flexible formats to support the needs of busy health care professionals. Join a vibrant learning community committed to excellence in health sciences education.
