About
In Canada, a Personal Support Worker (PSW) is a member of an interprofessional health-care team who provides supportive person-centered care across the lifespan to individuals and families in various care environments, including long-term, community, and hospital settings. PSWs play an important role in the healthcare sector, providing bedside and personal care to patients. To become a PSW, you need a college certificate in personal support work, which typically takes 8-12 months to complete.
