Please make sure allot enough time to complete the modules. They are integral to your understanding of how a hospital operates, as well as how to be a successful Health Scholar and future health care professional .In addition, they provide important information which will be helpful in preparing you for the written exam! With this said, please make sure to review each module thoroughly, rather than skipping through the material. 

On a weekly basis, our team will be checking in on your modules status and following up for completion. If you foresee yourself being unable to complete the modules in time for Training Day 1, please email ahgldte@copehealthscholars.org. 

If you need anymore clarification, our Training Coordinators are here as a resource and are available to assist you.

Training Day 1 is dedicated to the learning of skills used as a Health Scholar. After trainees present the skills to their designated trainers, everyone has an opportunity to ask questions and gain more hands-on practice.

Trainees will be provided with training material to learn during the day. The training manual also provides additional information about the program rules, policies, and scope of practice.

Trainees will have the opportunity to review the following skills with members of the Leadership Team:

• Ambulating a patient

• Positioning a patient

• Making an occupied/unoccupied bed

• Changing a patient

• Feeding a patient

• Bathing a patient

• Transferring a patient from bed to wheelchair

• Transferring a patient from bed to gurney

• Taking vital signs

Please arrive on time so that we can get situated. We will be turning away those who arrive late. We strongly recommed you arrive 15-30 minutes earlier on each day. For those who still have pending clearance items, this will be the time for you to submit all missing forms to be cleared to shift on the floors.

Training Day 2 is test day. Testing format includes a Multiple Choice Exam and Practical Exam.

The TEST will consist of everything in your training manual, therefore, please be sure to review the lectures and patient care skills in the back. Both exams require a score of at least 80% in order to pass. However, there are "critical errors" for the practical exam which could result in an automatic fail. A "critical error" is anything which critically endangers the safety of patients, staff, yourself, or other Health Scholars. 

Testing Accommodations: If any type of accommodations are needed for the exams, please speak with our Program Manager, Samantha Walimaki, prior to Training Day 2. 

Practical Exam: You need to PERFORM and VERBALIZE everything you would need to do to complete a skill. Remember, you must treat the practical exam as though you were actually shifting on the hospital floor and interacting with a real patient.

You will be expected to know how to incorporate AIDET and SKAHI into your patient care skills. Get into the habit of creating a mental checklist, and understand how to perform each letter in the acronyms.

There are various hospital staff members you will encounter on the floors. Make sure you understand the roles of each person, and know that they are not interchangeable.
