Ward clerks play a vital role on the staff of a hospital, serving as a point-person for other staff, administrators, patients and visitors. The part-time Hospital Ward Clerk program helps you develop the strong communication and clerical support skills you’ll need to help manage the day-to-day tasks of hospital departments.
What you will learn
You learn to interact with medical professionals, hospital administrators, patients, visitors and many others entering and exiting hospital wards each day. You learn to respond quickly and sensitively to diverse needs in the fast-paced, often pressure-filled environment of a busy hospital. Functions include administrative, clerical and communications, greeting and directing incoming visitors, patients and staff, answering incoming calls and responding to inquiries.
