HEALTHCARE CAREER LATTICE

A Model for Enhanced Learning
Through a unique distance learning combination of satellite broadcasts, online, self-study, mentoring and hands-on training and experience, employees have an opportunity to continue to grow in their careers with The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society. Employees may select career training options in clinical and non-clinical tracks. These options begin with advanced nursing assistant training and include licensed practical nursing and registered nursing degree programs, management certificate programs (for nurses and other managers) as well as advanced degrees in healthcare management and nursing.

Various components of these programs were funded by a grant awarded under the President's High Growth Job Training Initiative as implemented by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration.
