Role Specific Training (not for all roles)
PCS Orientation and Training
Cooper’s department of Nursing Education offers an in-depth, multi-day program for team members in Patient Care Services roles. PCS Orientation and Epic Training will follow your Orientation Day for team members in a number of PCS roles. Go to the PCS New Hire home page to learn more, and click your job title to see a schedule of training.
Epic Training
EPIC training is administered by the IT Epic training team, who delivers a custom curriculum and training schedule to new employees based on each person’s role at Cooper. Hands-on, in-person Epic training takes place at the CCBO (L3 Communications) building, which is accessible using the Cooper Shuttle from the Hospital at One Cooper Plaza. The training team may also assign online training modules for self-directed learning through the Cooper Learning Network (CLN). You will not be able to access Epic until you meet all Cooper requirements and have a Cooper network login and password.
Learning & Development Opportunities
Mandatory Education: Regulatory and Compliance
You will be assigned a set of mandatory courses through the Cooper Learning Network (CLN). Plan for up to one hour to complete each course before the due date. Mandatory Education modules will vary slightly by role. All team members will have a set of Mandatory Education courses to complete as you get started at Cooper. When in the CLN scroll down to your Task List to see all of your assigned courses.
New Leader Orientation (NLO)
All new and newly promoted leaders at Cooper are assigned to an NLO cohort and attend a nine-week leadership curriculum with their peers. During NLO, new leaders will learn about Cooper’s “Leadership Must-Haves” and also meet senior leaders and experts from key operational areas.
New Leaders also complete “Crucial Conversations” and “High-Reliability Organization” HRO courses and receive ongoing access to the online Huron Leadership portal. These courses along with the cohort sessions must be completed by new leaders within six months of starting their new position.
Department Onboarding
Following Orientation, your supervisor will help orient you to your department and new team members. During this time, you’ll learn about your job responsibilities, tools and processes, policies, and all other performance expectations.
Cooper Academy of Learning and Innovation (CALI)
CALI offers practical professional and self-development courses to all Cooper employees and is promoted through HR News, Pulse+, and other internal communication channels. Employees can register for CALI courses through the Cooper Learning Network. You’re encouraged to speak with your supervisor about your development needs and establish goals that will help you grow in your career at Cooper. These courses are managed by the Organizational Learning and Effectiveness team (HR).
Huron Leadership Portal
All Cooper Leaders have access to an online learning library that provided health-care focused leadership development topics with an emphasis on leading people and business operations. Courses are accessed at the leader’s convenience and include short-format learning videos, quizzes, and toolkits with helpful tip sheets and templates. New leaders can ask their managers how to access the Huron portal. The portal also contains a Bedside Nurse library that’s ideal for all emerging and current nurse leaders.
