Personal Care Attendant
The Personal Care Attendant Educational Program (2018) was developed to provide students with an opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills that can be applied in the practice setting. A personal care assistant has soft skills to work with the elderly, sick or persons with disabilities. Our educational curriculum is grounded and structured around four domains: safety, knowledge and skills development, communication and documentation, and professionalism. These domains reflect core competencies outlined in the Canadian Educational Standards for Personal Care Providers (2012).
The Personal Care Attendant Educational Program aims to prepare graduates with the knowledge and skills required to meet the necessary guidelines for prospective employment in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
