This program is part of our Medical Arts Academy which also offers certifications in Phlebotomy, Certified Nurse Aide, and EKG.”

The Bowling Green High School Medical Arts Academy opened in 2017, to provide hands-on educational opportunities and certifications in a high-demand industry for our community. Currently, 163 Bowling Green High School students are enrolled in courses and pursuing certifications in the Medical Arts Academy.
