Female Nurse Or Doctor Wearing Scrubs At Hospital Appointment With Male Patient Looking At Computer

One of my favourite courses, which I took at CTM College, was Introduction to Healthcare Support. I decided to get in because I was exploring the option of joining the co-op program in health services. Tuition for this course was reasonable, and it was lower than others, so it was a good choice. My guidance counsellor recommended it to me, saying practical skills are useful for future employment. The course covered basic patient care, safety procedures, and communication skills. It was taught by Dr. Lean, who helped me all the way through. I enjoyed the class because it was hands-on, and my marks were generally high thanks to her help. By the end of it, I felt confident and used what I learned during my co-op placement at a long-term care house.
