The Advanced Vocational General Duty Assistant (GDA) program is a skill-based healthcare training course designed to prepare students to provide basic patient care and support services in hospitals, nursing homes, and home-care settings. It builds on the basic GDA course by offering enhanced clinical, communication, and caregiving skills, with a greater focus on working under the supervision of nurses and doctors.
This course is part of various Skill India, NSQF, or vocational education programs in many countries, especially designed for students aiming for entry-level positions in the healthcare industry.
