I personally think that the Health Care Assistant program allowed me to be a better version of myself

The Health Care Assistant program was my first time completing a program in Canada. I found it to be an amazing learning experience.  I gained lots of knowledge from the theory. During my lab and clinical, my instructor Josephine explained everything from top to bottom in not only the lab, but the clinical too. 

At that start, I found the clinical to be very challenging. I kept wondering how I would be able to complete the program. However, once Josephine explained everything to us, and showed us physical examples, I found everything very easy. She boosted my confidence a lot! If I didn’t understand something, Josephine was always there to help. Everything went so well in my clinical that I found the preceptorship to be very easy and efficient. I learnt a bunch of new things, and had new experiences.  

After clinical and preceptorship, assistant living was a very different experience for me, compared to long term care. I saw and learned lots of new things. There was a new environment there and I found that to be amazing. Overall, I learnt a lot of new things. I personally think that the Health Care Assistant program allowed me to be a better version of myself. Thanks to Discovery Community College and Josephine for helping me have a start for a new career/life!
