The Community Health Care Worker program is designed to focus on competencies universally required for primary and preventive health care. The curriculum also serves students who may wish to enter into a nursing program or other allied health professions. Research shows that many health educator programs at the university level (bachelor, masters) require as a core curriculum the same knowledge and competence areas incorporated into this program.
