Health Unit Coordinator

The Health Unit Coordinator Certificate program is an exciting new opportunity starting Fall quarter 2007. Health Unit Coordinators work in hospitals, clinics, assisting nursing staff with non-clinical clerical tasks. They perform a variety of services for patients, visitors, and hospital management. They are an important link between departments, health-provider staff, patients, and visitors. Unit coordinators must have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
