A two-part course, the health sciences program introduces students to the theory and practical applications of tasks related to employment in health science. Students learn about topics such as safety in the workplace, infection control, health care systems and the vital organs of the human body.
Students also learn the theory and applied tasks related to careers within health care by covering topics such as growth and development, health informatics, information technology, and therapeutic and rehabilitative services.
Throughout the year, students are given many opportunities to participate in various classroom and outreach activities and to participate in state, regional and national competitions thanks to their membership in the student-centered organization Future Health Professionals (HOSA).
