Course Title and Description
Select one educational need that was not fulfilled at either Boardman Corporate University or
Northwest Valley Community College at Kelsey Campus using the completed Virtual Portal
Exploration assignment.
Create a proposed course title and description that reflects the formatting and style of each organization’s course catalog descriptions.
Due to the recent expansion of the local Patton-Fuller Community Hospital, one educational need in the Kelsey community is in the area of nursing and health care administration. Northwest Community College could benefit greatly by offering nursing and health care courses to attract potential students seeking employment at the hospital. A possible addition to the college’s list of associate degree programs would be an Associate of Arts in
Health Care Administration, with individual courses covering general education requirements as well as core courses used as an introduction to the health care industry. A proposed course that could be offered as part of this program and its description are listed below.
HCA 101 - Introduction to Health Care Administration
This course provides students with foundational knowledge of the health care industry and a comprehensive overview of the health care system in the United States. Emphasis is placed on basic health care terminology, management concepts, communication skills for health care professionals, and workforce opportunities within the health care industry.
