Healthcare Education : HCC Equivalency Guide
 
The Healthcare Core Courses (HCC) provide a basic and universal foundation of healthcare concepts for all healthcare students. Allied health and nursing students take these courses together, thus building early in their career the opportunity to work in healthcare teams. These courses may be taken in their entirety, or as individual (.5 credit) modules. To determine whether or not the HCC courses are required for a particular healthcare program, or whether they are a Prerequisite or Corequisite course, please contact the Program Advisor at the college you plan to attend.

The HCC courses consist of:

Course Title # of credits
HCC 130 Fundamentals in Health Care Delivery 3 credits
HCC 130AA Healthcare Today .5 credits
HCC 130AB Workplace Behavior in Healthcare .5 credits
HCC 130AC Personal Wellness and Safety .5 credits
HCC 130AD Communication and Teamwork in Healthcare Organizations .5 credits
HCC 130AE Legal and Ethical Issues in Healthcare .5 credits
HCC 130AF Decision Making in Healthcare .5 credits
HCC 145 Medical Terminology for Healthcare Workers 3 credits
HCC 145AA Medical Terminology for Healthcare Workers 1 credit
HCC 145AB Medical Terminology for Healthcare Workers 1 credit
HCC 145AC Medical Terminology for Healthcare Workers 1 credit
HCC 146 Common Medical Terminology for Healthcare Workers 2 credits

NOTE the following equivalency guidelines:
Equivalence to HCC 130 = Equivalence to each module HCC 130AA – AF
Equivalence to HCC 145 = Equivalence to each module HCC 145AA – AC
Equivalence to HCC 146 = Equivalence to each module HCC 145AA – AB
