Health Care Assistant Certificate - Indigenous

Overview

The Health Care Assistant - Indigenous Certificate follows the provincially developed Health Care Assistant curriculum with a focus on Indigenous community and culture. It is designed to provide Indigenous students with opportunities to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to function effectively as front-line care-givers, and respected members of the healthcare team, in community and facility settings. Under the direction and supervision of a health professional, you'll provide person-centered care aimed at promoting and maintaining the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social well-being of clients/residents. You will be required to participate in full-time clinical placements that include day and evening shifts that may occur outside of regular class time.
