As a Health Care Assistant, you’ll be given the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to function effectively as a front-line care-giver and respected member of the health care team in both community and facility settings.

Health Care Assistants learn a wide variety of practical and resident/client care skills. Our program is hands-on, with clinical placements throughout your time at Camosun. You’ll learn about interpersonal communications, lifestyles and choices, personal care, and how to treat patients ethically and with compassion.

Your studies will provide you with the skills to advocate on behalf of the rights, needs, interests and fair treatment of residents and their families. As a Health Care Assistant you will develop a person-centred care philosophy aimed at promoting and maintaining the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social well being of clients/residents.

I love this college. Every member of the staff that I met; was compassionate, kind, and helpful. Sudbury is a town with a lot of really caring people and that really shows in this college. Security Guards, Janitors, and Professors all seamlessly working together to deliver the best experience to their students. I’d love to see their medic labs one day. The campus is beautiful and the community is strong.

Vending machines are frequently finicky though, so best bet is to avoid cash and go for change or using the app. I’m pretty sure all of the ones in the Cafeteria are operational, but again avoid bills.

Best of luck with your studies!

Intimate campus, small class sizes and amazing teachers. Was cheaper than UVic. Hard not to love this place.
