    You do not need a bachelor's degree, Health Science
    Technology and Trades and Industrial Education are
    exempt from the bachelor's degree requirement. It is
    quoted in numerous sources but here is one for your
    reference.

    Health Science is a rarely pursued program, few EPP
    providers and officers have any experience with it.
    Most EPP providers are going to have to look material
    up, and they get it wrong as often as they don't. You
    will likely be the most knowledgeable person in the
    room.

    Understand that for your internship finding a health
    science program can be very difficult. It's only a
    handful of courses that are outside the sciences, and
    it's difficult putting together a full load of just health
    science courses for an intern, you will very likely find
    yourself teaching at least in part some biology,
    chemistry and physics courses. Your mentor will also
    most likely not come from an allied health
    background.
