Health Sciences

 

If you are interested in providing physical

therapeutic services to people, diagnosing

illness and implementing strategies for health

improvement, improving quality of life for

people, exciting work environments,

developing a better understanding of the

human body, and the chance to wear scrubs

to work, then Health Sciences could be your

pathway. 

 

The Health Science Program provides the secondary student with orientation, exploration, and preparation into the health care industry. Courses are sequenced to provide continuous student progress toward achievement of a career goal in any of the Health Science Cluster Career pathways. The integration of literacy, numeracy, science, employability, 21st Century and technical skills is a vital component of each course offering.

 

This Cluster assists the student in developing essential cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills and the flexibility to design an individual course of study focused on specific learning goals. The program is designed for students who desire entry-level certification and/or plan to enroll in a post secondary program in one of many occupational areas in the health field. After obtaining a satisfactory performance level in the health care core competencies, the student may obtain work experience in a health-related facility.
