Queen City Health Care Academy is located at 3125 Eastway Drive across from the Fifth Third Bank on the second floor of the building.

The program is 5 weeks. There are 4 weeks of theory taught in the classroom and skills lab, followed by 1 week of clinical at a local facility.
The clinical experience is for one week, 8 hours each day. Students will receive a schedule and be accompanied by an instructor to practice their skills at a local facility.
Queen City Healthcare Academy believes that accountability and punctuality is imperative for students to receive the maximum benefit from their educational experience. Therefore, students must attend class every scheduled day and be on time to successfully complete the program.
Due to the critical nature of the program, students may not make up more than one classroom/lab days. Clinical is mandatory. Students must make up class instruction during their assigned training hours. Students who miss more than the allowed class or lab time will have to attend a make-up day which will be pre-assigned at the start of the class session.
