SBCC Health Professionals Institute Trains 17 Local Employees
Employees from Cottage, Mentor, and Sansum Receive Recognition from SBCC's Health Professionals Institute
Seventeen employees from Cottage Health System, Mentor Corporation and Sansum Clinic received certificates of recognition from Santa Barbara City College Professional Development Center’s Health Professionals Institute (HPI) on December 15.
Offered to employees of local healthcare agencies, the institute is made up of a series of work-based skills training classes designed to enhance employees’ personal development and improve performance on the job. Students attended classes covering such business topics as Time Management, Business Writing and Powerful Presentations.
“When the HPI program first began in 2002, we offered it primarily to healthcare management,” said Dr. Diane Hollems, SBCC Dean of Educational Programs. “Over time, it became apparent that the courses had application to all levels of staff so we continue to draw and instruct new employees on a regular basis.”
