Pacific Medical Training partners with Indian Health Service: Supporting the Navajo nation during critical times

We are proud to announce a significant collaboration with the Indian Health Service (IHS), where Pacific Medical Training is providing essential training services to healthcare professionals at the Northern Navajo Medical Center in Shiprock, New Mexico. This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering accessible, high-quality healthcare training, even in the most challenging circumstances.

The Northern Navajo Medical Center recognized the need for specialized training to supplement its intensive care unit (ICU) nursing staff, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which severely impacted the Navajo Nation. Our telemetry monitor technician online training course became an ideal solution, allowing the hospital to enhance its nursing capabilities in a remote area where traditional training was not feasible.

Meeting the need for specialized training during the pandemic

With the pandemic prompting community lockdowns and travel restrictions, healthcare facilities across the Navajo Nation faced unprecedented challenges. The Northern Navajo Medical Center sought to bolster its nursing services to meet increased patient demand, and our online training provided the perfect solution.

The telemetry monitor technician course allowed healthcare workers to develop critical skills needed to support ICU operations. By offering remote, flexible learning opportunities, we ensured that healthcare professionals could continue to expand their expertise, regardless of geographical constraints.

Expanding training opportunities across the Navajo area

We are excited to share that the nursing division at Northern Navajo Medical Center plans to continue offering our training to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) for professional development and service expansion. The intention is to extend these training opportunities to other service unit partners within the Navajo Area, helping to elevate healthcare standards across the region.

Trusted by Indian Health Service

We are honored to receive a recommendation from Nicola Pierce, MSN-Ed, RN, a nurse educator at the Northern Navajo Medical Center, highlighting the impact of our training services. The recommendation underscores the value of our courses in addressing healthcare challenges and enhancing professional skills in rural and underserved areas.

About the training program
