15 Best Patient Care Courses on edX
Choosing a patient‑care course on edX involves weighing content focus, teaching institution, and cost. The fifteen options listed range from introductory communication skills to specialised topics such as telehealth strategy and biomedical equipment maintenance, with prices from $90.00 to $672.30. All courses are hosted on the edX platform, and each is offered by a recognised university or institution.
The selection includes programmes from The University of Hong Kong, Stanford University, The University of Queensland, Delft University of Technology, and Doane University, covering diverse aspects of patient care. Prospective learners should consider their own career goals – whether they need a broad foundation, advanced technical knowledge, or insight into emerging delivery models – and match those needs to the course description and price that best fits their budget.

How these 15 courses were chosen
Every course below is a real, currently listed course from edX, matched to "patient care" by our catalog and ordered by our CourseAsk score. Courses whose own title names the topic rank above those only tagged with it.
The grade on each entry scores how much the provider publishes about the course before you pay — the length and detail of the description, whether it lists learning outcomes and objectives — and whether a named university or institution stands behind it. A is fully documented and institution-backed; E is little more than a title and a price. Courses with almost nothing published are left ungraded rather than marked down, because an unknown course and a poor one are not the same thing.
There are no star ratings on this page — the course feeds we license do not include them, and we would rather leave a column out than fill it with a number we cannot stand behind. What we do have is price: these range from $90.00 to $672.30, as listed by the provider when we last updated the page.

What the prices here tell you
The 12 priced courses on this page run from $90.00 to $672.30, with the middle of the range around $249.00 — a spread of $582.30. That is a wide gap for one subject. A higher price on this page usually reflects who is behind the course rather than how much material it contains, so it is worth opening two or three at different price points and comparing their syllabus before deciding.
Who is behind these courses
These courses come from edX. Everything on this page is sold on the one platform, so the buying experience is the same whichever you pick. 7 of these are produced by a named university or institution, including The University of Hong Kong, Stanford University and The University of Queensland — which usually means a fixed syllabus and a recognised certificate, rather than an individual instructor’s own course.
Before you enrol
Open the provider’s own page and check three things this comparison cannot tell you: when the course was last updated, what the syllabus actually covers in its later sections, and what recent learners say. Prices shown here are the provider’s listed price when we last rebuilt this page on 18 September 2026 — they change often, and a promotion can move them substantially. We earn a commission if you enrol through our links, which costs you nothing and never affects the order courses appear in.
