Health unit coordinators are in high demand locally! Most graduates of the Delta College Health Unit Coordinator Program are hired within one to three months. Positions are a mix of part-time and full-time, and most are in hospital settings, although other health organizations are also potential employers.
The first 80 hours of the program are spent in a classroom environment. You are evaluated through written exams, class participation, punctuality and attendance. You spend the next 160 hours in the clinical portion of the program. Here you receive hands-on experience at a local hospital. You train with a health unit coordinator preceptor (clinical instructor) during this time. An on-going evaluation by the instructor and the preceptor is conducted through individual conferences and written examinations. The student must maintain a 75% average in each aspect of the program, including ethical and safety aspects as well as demonstrations in order to receive a certificate. Also, students must have consistent attendance in order to receive a certificate. There are no excused absences from this course.
Classes are offered January-April, May – August, and September – December.
