Anatomy & Physiology

Grade Level: 11-12 Credit:1

Prerequisite:  Biology

Anatomy and Physiology is an upper level course designed to develop an understanding of the structures and functions of the human body, while relating those to knowledge and skills associated with pathophysiology. Upon completion of this course, proficient students will be able to (1) apply the gross anatomy from earlier courses to a deeper understanding of all body systems, (2) identify the organs and structures of the support and movement systems, (3) relate the structure and function of the communication, control, and integration system, and (4) demonstrate a professional, working understanding of the transportation, respiration, excretory, and reproduction systems.

Emergency Medical Service

Grade Level: 11-12 Credit: 1

Prerequisite:  Health Science,  Anatomy & Physiology and Teacher Approval

Emergency Medical Services is a capstone course designed to prepare students to pursue careers in the fields of emergency medicine. Upon completion of this course, proficient students will be able to: identify careers and features of the EMS system; define the importance of workforce safety and wellness; maintain legal and ethical guidelines; correlate anatomy and physiology concepts to the patient with a medical or traumatic injury; and perform EMS skills with a high level of proficiency. If taught with an EMT instructor, students will be given the opportunity to sit for the National Emergency Medical Responder certification. In addition, students will continue to add artifacts to a portfolio, which they will continue to build throughout the program of study

Health Science

Grade Level: 9-10 Credit:1

Prerequisite:  None

Health Science Education is an introductory course designed to prepare students to pursue careers in the fields of therapeutics, health informatics, diagnostics, and support services. Upon completion of this course, a proficient student will be able to identify careers in these fields, compare and contrast the features of healthcare systems, explain the legal and ethical ramifications of the healthcare setting, and begin to perform foundational healthcare skills. This course will serve as a strong foundation for all of the Health Science programs of study.

Medical Therapeutics

Grade Level: 10-11 Credit:1

Prerequisite:  Health Science And Anatomy & Physiology

Medical Therapeutics is an applied course designed to prepare students to pursue careers in therapeutic services. Upon completion of this course, a proficient student will be able to identify careers in therapeutics services; assess, monitor, evaluate, and report patient/client health status; and identify the purpose and components of treatments.

Pharmacological Science

Grade Level: 11-12 Credit:1

Prerequisite:  Health Science & Anatomy and Physiology

Pharmacological Sciences is a third-level applied course in the Therapeutic Clinical Services program of study intended to prepare students with an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the healthcare worker in a pharmacy setting. This course equips students with the communication, goalsetting, and information-processing skills to be successful in the workplace, in addition to covering key topics in pharmacology, pharmacy law and regulations, sterile and non-sterile compounding, medication safety, quality assurance, and more. Upon completion of this course, proficient students who have also completed a Clinical Internship can apply to sit for the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board examination immediately after high school graduation.

Rehabilitation Careers

Grade Level: 11-12 Credit:1

Prerequisite:  Health Science & Anatomy and Physiology

Rehabilitation Careers is an applied course designed to prepare students to pursue careers in rehabilitation services. Upon completion of this course, a proficient student will be able to identify careers in rehabilitation services, recognize diseases, disorders or injuries related to rehabilitation services and correlate the related anatomy and physiology then develop a plan of treatment with appropriate modalities.
