We will open breakout rooms starting at noon each Thursday in August and answer questions on a first-come, first-served basis until 1 pm.
How to Prepare for Your 10-Minute Healthcare Advising Appt
Our healthcare advising sessions are designed to answer your most important questions. Since each session is just 10 minutes, please come prepared:
1. Review Program Information in Advance
Visit the Olympic College Healthcare Programs page to review details on prerequisites, application deadlines, and program requirements.
Make note of which programs (e.g., Nursing, Medical Assisting, Surgical Technology, Radiologic Technology) you’re most interested in.
2. Have Your Questions Ready
Write down 1–2 specific questions you’d like answered during your appointment.
Examples: “Am I on track with prerequisites for the Practical Nursing Program?” or “When should I apply for the Radiologic Technology program?”
3. Bring Relevant Information
If you’ve completed any college coursework, have a copy of your unofficial transcript handy (PDF or printout).
Know your current GPA and any courses you’re planning to take.
4. Be Ready to Take Notes
Keep a pen and paper or open a document on your device to capture key information and next steps.
5. Plan for a Follow-Up if Needed
If your questions require more time, your advisor will help you schedule a longer appointment for a deeper conversation, or feel free to set up a separate appointment now:
