Health Unit Coordinator
|
|

The Health Unit Coordinator certificate program prepares students to participate as members of the health team in performing clerical skills essential for the effective management of clinical units within health institutions and agencies. Applicants are required to have a high school diploma or equivalent.
All Health Unit Coordinator applicants are required to submit a "Criminal History Record Information Report" and "Child Abuse History Clearance." Students who have been convicted of a felony or other prohibited offense may be unable to complete their studies because clinical agencies may not permit participation in clinical experiences.
All Health Unit Coordinator students will need to have on file in the Health Center the results of a complete physical examination including: laboratory tests, a complete blood count, serology, a 9-panel urine drug screen and TB testing prior to beginning the clinical component of the program. Additionally, students must have medical health insurance and be in compliance with recommendations for the Hepatitis B vaccine.
Certain manual dexterity and sensory skills that enable students to competently perform required technical skills are necessary for successful completion of the Health Unit Coordinator program. Health problems that can interfere with the ability to demonstrate achievement of program competencies are considered individually.
In addition to the normal tuition and fees, Health Unit Coordinator students are required to purchase uniforms. Applicants are required to take college placement tests for English, reading and math skills.
A student in the Health Unit Coordinator program may be removed from the program for behavior incompatible with occupational standards or violation of patient safety and confidentiality pending the outcome of the appeal process. Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from the clinical area.
Upon successful completion of the program, students should be able to:
Define the role of the health unit coordinator as a health-team member.
Describe the role of health-care facilities in the health-care delivery system.
Identify the responsibilities of the health unit coordinator within the health team.
