Allied Health Partnership
Madison-Oneida BOCES and Oneida Healthcare Center have entered into an exciting partnership to provide an educational opportunity for selected senior students who are interested in Allied Health professions. This program is designed to provide high school seniors with an insider's study of the broad health related career field found in health care facilities today. The student will receive a first-hand, in-depth overview of the health care field. In addition, the program offers individualized career exploration.
Students spend four mornings a week rotating through various departments within the hospital. Integrated academics, Health Occupations, English 12 (technical writing and literature), and Social Studies 12 (economics and government) are instructed in the context of the health care industry. All projects are geared to be authentic in nature.
More often than not they function independently, experiencing everything from observing a surgeon in the operating room, to working with the Chief Financial Officer on a budget project.
Student applicants are required to meet specific eligibility criteria (including having completed three years of math and science by the end of their junior year), complete program application, and participate in a formal interview process conducted jointly by the school and hospital.
This think-oriented curriculum includes problem solving, decision making, and application projects. The program is designed to better prepare students for the transition from high school to college and the real world.
The first unit of this course consists of an Overview - Orientation, with an emphasis on team building. The mentioning unit is divided into six Job Profile Modules; Job Profile Module I, Business/Management, Job Profile Module II, Patient Care, Job Profile Module III, Science and Technology, Job Profile Module IV, Growth and Development, Job Profile Module V Ancillary Services, and Job Profile VI, Mini Internship. The last unit of this course will encompass an extensive research project.
The Allied Health Partnership isn't for everyone, but for the serious, motivated student, it's a phenomenal opportunity to spend their senior year in an exciting and challenging way!
If you have any questions regarding the Allied Health Partnership Program please contact your high school guidance counselor, Madison-Oneida BOCES or e-mail us to request more information.

Certified Nursing Assistant Training
Oneida Healthcare Center's Extended Care Facility periodically offers training for individuals to become a Certified Nursing Assistant. The training combines classroom and hands-on sessions designed to prepare the individual to provide personal care to resident so nursing homes. The training is 4 weeks in length and involves 5 full days of training per week. Oneida Healthcare Center pays a weekly stipend to trainees who undergo the 4 weeks of training. At the end of the training program individuals take a written certification exam. Once certified, individuals may begin working as Certified Nursing Assistants in residential care facilities. Classes are generally held quarterly throughout the year. For further information, please contact the ECF Nursing Department at 315-361-2019 or the Personnel Department at 315-361-2040.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training (CPR) 
OHC's Emergency Cadiovascular Care training program is a recipient of the American Heart Association's Community Training Center Award
As an American Heart Association Training Center, Oneida Healthcare Center is proud to offer cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. Our AHA certified instructors offer both BLS (Basic Life Support) and ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) classes on an on-going basis. We also provide refresher courses for BLS and ACLS recertification on a regular basis.
A variety of class times, including afternoon and evening sessions, makes it easy for busy professionals to participate.
To inquire about or to register for upcoming classes, please contact Jodi Coapman-Brandis, RN at 315-361-2231.
Patient Education
Oneida Healthcare Center recognizes that patient education is an important part of the entire care giving process. Knowledge about their own health, specific illnesses, treatments, and expected outcome helps our patients become self-sufficient.
Our multidisciplinary approach to education has resulted in less time spent in the hospital, fewer complications, and a return to normal activities sooner than patients who receive no teaching.
Our team approach is standardized and begins from the time the patient is admitted to the hospital until they are discharged. Our staff is specially trained in assessing and educating our patients in their health care needs.
Teaching is achieved through a wide variety of educational resource methods and is tailored to each patient's or family's needs.
Pre-op teaching is available by special appointment for all patients scheduled for inpatient surgical procedures.
