Home Health Director Apprenticeship
WHAT: The Home Health Director Apprenticeship is designed for Good Samaritan employees to provide enhanced training through print based, on-line and self-study courses supported by mentors who enhance the on-the-job learning. Nurses who complete the training receive a nationally registered certificate of completion from the Department of Labor. The apprenticeship provides on-the-job learning through a performance based training model that enhances managerial skills and knowledge through competency based education. The coursework includes distance learning broadcasts, videos and self-study modules. On-the-job skills are developed through a mentoring structure that utilizes local area experts and/or mentor cohort groups.
AVAILABLE AREA: The training is designed for those either beginning a position as a home health agency director at any Good Samaritan sites, or preparing to do so.
REQUIRED COURSES: The training consists of approximately 140 hours of training. Topics include:
APPLICATION/ENROLLMENT: Nurses employed by the Good Samaritan Society who wish to enroll must complete an apprentice agreement (enrollment form) indicating their position and have this signed by their supervisor.
COST: Course materials will be paid for by agency start up for those hired as new directors. Others should contact their consultant to determine who will pay for course materials.
TIME TO COMPLETE: Most will be able to complete in less than one year.
HOW DO I LEARN MORE? Employees may contact their area home health consultant for more details on the program. For general information on the apprenticeship model, contact the Learning Division at national campus via e-mail at learn@good-sam.com for enrollment forms or leave a message on the toll free line at 1.866.477.0253.
