What is a Health Unit Clerk?

Health Unit Clerks help manage the day to day operations of a hospital ward. They are responsible for a variety of areas. When a patient is admitted or discharged, the health unit clerk processes the necessary forms. When a test needs to be performed, the health unit clerk schedules it. In addition, Health Unit Clerks are typically in charge of several behind the scene tasks such as keeping the drug supply stocked, managing equipment, and relaying information between patients and staff. Graduates of this program can expect to work in Health Unit Clerk, Unit Clerk and Ward Clerk positions.

Wage Range for Health Unit Clerks*
