education
The healthcare professional is trained in the dual training system, i.e. the trainee learns both in the training company and in the vocational school . The training lasts 3 years, but you can also take the final examination six months earlier and start in the second year of the apprenticeship. The training occupation also represents a good opportunity for retraining , e.g. B. for nurses, geriatric carers, etc., and is offered for this by training companies and as initial training.
The school education is divided into learning fields , e.g. B. Business processes (recording, control, evaluation), market analyzes, marketing instruments, offering / documenting / billing of services, investment financing. There are also general educational subjects such as social studies , German , English and sports .
Most vocational schools offer block training, which means that you regularly go to school for at least one week at a time. A day at school every week is rather rare in this profession, as not very many vocational schools offer lessons for health care professionals, in Bavaria, for example, only six schools (Straubing, Erlangen, Bad Kissingen, Munich, Rosenheim and Günzburg).
In in- company training , you go through various administrative departments, such as the personnel department, accounting, economic department or accounting. But there are also optional departments such as complaint management or quality management.
Retraining and initial training at state-recognized substitute schools are usually divided into alternating sections of theoretical and practical training.
At the end of the usually three-year training there is a written and an oral final examination .
The written exam consists of three parts. Part 1.1 contains open questions, in parts 1.2 to 3 closed questions must be ticked.
Two subject areas are presented in the oral exam. Then you have about a quarter of an hour to work on one of the topics. Now you have to answer questions from the examination board. The examination committee usually consists of a subject teacher and several people from the health sector, e.g. B. Health insurance, hospital, care, etc.
