Texas State University’s Continuing Education Office and MedCerts, a nationally recognized leader in online healthcare training, are excited to announce a partnership aimed at increasing access to high-quality medical education. By joining forces, TXST will offer seven MedCerts healthcare programs, including Medical Assistant, Pharmacy Technician Professional and Professional Coder.
These flexible online programs, created with working professionals and non-traditional students in mind, will help address the growing need for skilled healthcare workers. TXST may add more programs in the future, ensuring that students, particularly in the Golden Triangle region, have continued access to in-demand career pathways in the healthcare field.
With an aging population and a rising need for healthcare services, Texas – like much of the country – is experiencing a workforce shortage in the medical field. According to the Texas Workforce Commission, healthcare support roles are among the fastest-growing job categories in the state, with thousands of new positions projected by 2032.
