Assiniboine Community College (ACC)

ACC Practical Nursing Program - Assiniboine Community College (ACC)
operates a Permanent Practical Nursing Program out of the Southport campus.
The program uses an interactive blended learning and classroom environment,
with simulated clinical settings using the latest lab equipment. The Practical Nursing
Program provides students with an opportunity to make a difference in the health
care profession.

ACC uses the Southport Building for office, classroom, and laboratory space.
Students stay in Southport’s accommodation building, Mynarski House, and use the
Central Plains RecPlex when they need a break from studying.
ACC has had a lot of success with the program at Southport. This program is great for the local economy and
produces local nurses that will ideally stay and work in the Portage la Prairie region.
