Program Description


The Health Fundamentals program provides entry-level exposure to the theory and skills involved in modern healthcare provision, and is well suited for students exploring or preparing for a career in the healthcare field.  Additionally, each of the required courses are a part of multiple other full-time, profession-specific programs offered through SAIT’s School of Health and Public Safety.  As such, students may both gain insight into the industry, as well as earn credit towards the completion of other health focused program streams, should they choose to pursue further education in this rewarding arena of study and practice.

To receive your Health Fundamentals Certificate of Achievement, you must complete the following courses.
