Departments

Welcome to the Departments page!

At Adventist Health Castle Hospital, we have 8 departments that scholars can rotate through during their time in the Health Scholar Program. We are always looking to expand further!


Reminders:

You MUST complete a Department Specific Training and Pre-Rotational Shift prior to shifting on a new floor unless stated otherwise. Please only sign up for shifts in departments you were assigned to. If you attempt to shift on a floor without completing a DST or PRS, you will receive an electronic counseling message.

You must also complete a Competency Checklist each rotation, regardless of whether or not you have previously shifted on the floor. If you have any questions, please email castleddo@copehealthscholars.org.

Our departments are broken up into 3 tiers. Eligibility for each tier is listed below:

Tier 1 (1st rotation following Training)

  • Pulama (Medical Surgical)

  • Laulima (Telemetry)

Tier 2 (Eligibility: must complete 48 clinical hours*)

  • ICU

  • Imaging

  • Health Admin

Tier 3 (Eligibility: must complete a cumulative 96 clinical hours on Pulama, Laulima, or ICU AND have 144 total clinical hours)

  • Birth Center

  • Emergency Department

  • Behavioral Health

*Clinical hours are hours scholars earn by shifting on the floors. Project or Training Hours do not constitute as clinical hours, but still count towards graduation hours for the program.
