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.
