Training staff must have the required education and experience to appropriately teach the program content. Examples of education and experience include, but are not limited to, certificates and/or degrees from postsecondary institutions; certifications from industry-recognized agencies, and practical work experience in, or in a field closely related to, the career fields the program prepares students to enter. MedCerts confirms each training staff member’s academic background and work experience to ensure they are qualified to teach in the program.
The Health Unit Coordinator program introduces students to the health care facility environment and the various procedures performed by a certified Health Unit Coordinator. Today's Health Unit Care Coordinator wears many hats but is often considered the "go-to" person for nurses, doctors, and other hospital staff. Top candidates should be able to set up charts, perform data entry, maintain patient records, manage facility communications, and monitor compliance and confidential regulations. This program prepares students for the Certified Health Unit Coordinator (CHUC) and the Certified Electronic Health Records Specialist (CEHRS) certifications.
This program has open enrollment.
