Allied health programs train the people who support doctors and nurses: phlebotomy technicians, EKG technicians, pharmacy technicians, medical administrative assistants, billing and coding specialists, patient care technicians and behavioral health technicians. Most are short, non-degree certificate programs that prepare you for a national certification exam.

With SITTI, South Carolina students complete coursework online at their own pace, then practice hands-on skills in labs and, where offered, clinical sites through local partner academies. Before you enroll, check whether South Carolina licenses the role you want and whether your school is approved by the state.

South Carolina rules to know

Private schools in South Carolina are generally overseen by the SC Commission on Higher Education — Nonpublic Postsecondary Licensing. Nonpublic postsecondary institutions need a CHE license.

This is general information, not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm with the state agency (che.sc.gov) and your employer.
