A theoretical framework is essential for safe and competent practice as a health care assistant. Students in this course begin to develop a theoretical framework for practice.

Students will also be introduced to a problem-solving model critical to their practice. Corequisites: HCAS 1100, 1101, 1110, 1130, 1140, and 1220.
