Gwinnett Tech to launch new health information program
Gwinnett Technical College will use part of a $1.65 million grant to establish a program in health information technology that will help veterans, the unemployed and underemployed.
The federal grant also will help students pay for tuition for the one-year program, expected to begin next summer. The program will prepare graduates to become coders for medical offices or healthcare vendors. It also will prepare them for healthcare sales and other jobs.
