The Health Unit Coordinator certification program introduces students to the health care facility environment and the various procedures performed by a certified Health Unit Coordinator. The role of Unit Coordinator has expanded over the years as new technology has been introduced, legal and ethical standards have been tightened and various supporting roles within the medical environment have evolved. Today's Health Unit Care Coordinator wears many hats but is often considered the go-to person for nurses, doctors and other hospital staff. Top candidates should be able to set up charts, perform data entry, maintain patient records, manage facility communications and monitor compliance with facility policy and confidential regulations. Upon completion of this program, graduates will have met the training requirements to sit for the Certified Health Unit Coordinator (CHUC) examination, which is sponsored by the National Association of Health Unit Coordinators (NAHUC).
