Eastern College of Health Vocations-Shreveport Campus

Eastern College of Health Vocations was founded in Jonesboro, Arkansas, in July, 1979, as Northeast Arkansas Medical Assistant Training School. The College served this community until 1983, when it was relocated in Little Rock. At this time, the College was renamed Arkansas Medical Assistant Training School. After two years of extremely successful operation and acceptance, the College was permanently located at its present site and rechristened Eastern College of Health Vocations. In January, 1986, a branch of Eastern College of Health Vocations was opened in Metairie, Louisiana and Shreveport, Louisiana was opened in January 2005. The College owners are Joseph P. Dalto, Sr., his son, Joseph P. Dalto, IV and his daughter Laurie D. Dalto.

Our programs are designed in such a way that the individual student's goals can be achieved in the shortest possible time consistent with good training methods. In keeping with our status as a private health career school, we have eliminated unnecessary areas of study, and offer only those courses that are of practical value in training the student for his/her chosen career in the Allied Health Profession. Our programs are continually evaluated and revised to ensure that our students are fully prepared to enter the ever changing medical field. All programs at Eastern College are offered on-campus only with the exception of the extern portion of the program, which will be offered at a local Affiliated Training Site (DR or Dentist office).

The most important person at Eastern College of Health Vocations is the individual student. We feel that a private health career school should deal with its students as individuals in helping them to develop good character, proper professional habits, positive attitudes, and the ability to make sound decisions and get along well with their fellow workers. The staff takes a personal interest in each student, and classes are kept small enough to enable instructors to get to know the abilities and needs of each student. This personal approach is the basis for all our instruction.
