Westside ICT Program

In 2003, a partnership was developed with Spokane Community College (SCC) to develop a satellite of its Invasive Cardiovascular Technologist Program in Western Washington. Partnering organizations include:

• Good Samaritan Community Healthcare
• MultiCare Health System
• Pierce College
• Spokane Community College
• Tacoma Community College
• Tacoma-Pierce County Employment and Training Consortium
• Franciscan Health System
• Providence Everett Medical Center
• Providence St. Peter Hospital

The first cohort of students began the Western Washington program in September 2004.

The classroom and learning laboratory for Westside students is located at Tacoma General Hospital, in Tacoma, Washington. Westside students participate in SCC classes via real-time, interactive videoconferencing, and complete on-line learning modules independently. The Westside Lab Instructor teaches skills in the laboratory to Westside students, and students complete almost 800 hours of clinical training at cath labs in Western Washington hospitals. Westside students are required to attend lectures and lab sessions at the Westside classroom (in Tacoma) approximately four to five days per week.

The Western Washington ICT Program accepts 15-20 new students each fall. For general application information, please visit the Westside Application Information page.
