Seaforth meeting will determine interest in PSW course
While a survey of Huron County
longterm care facilities and agencies
showed that more personal support
workers (PSWs) are needed locally,
a meeting tonight (June 20) will col-
lect names of students interested in
a course that could be offered in
Seaforth.
"We know the interest is out there
- we just haven't seen it demonstrat-
ed," says Laura Overholt, manager
of Healthkick Huron.
With a registered practical nurse
(RPN) course close to finishing its
second year of a four-year course in
Seaforth, a second Georgian College
healthcare course for PSWs is being
contemplated.
"We need to have people come out
and tell us they want the course.
We're drumming up interest right
now," says Overholt, adding that if
there's enough interest, the course
will likely begin in the winter of
N.
•
2008.
"This is an entry level position
and is suitable to individuals inter-
ested in starting a healthcare
career," she says.
The course could appeal to high
school students looking for local
training or staff at long term care
facilities or community service
agencies interested in obtaining cre-
dentials.
Overholt says she's also hoping
that any employer using PSWs that
want to become partners in offering
the course could come forward.
The course would run two
evenings per week on a part-time
basis for 18 months with a comple-
tion in mid -2009.
A minimum of 20 students will be
needed to offer the course. The
information session will be held at
79 Main Street in Seaforth tonight
at 7 p.m.
