Plan your career pathways through the Career & Technology Education Coherent Sequences of courses for Health Science Technology. Introduction to Health Science Technology (9-12) (May not be offered on all campuses) This course gives an overview of the therapeutic, diagnostic, environmental, and informational systems of the health care industry. The focus is on career exploration, leadership development, ethical and legal issues, and the history, economics, and trends in financing health care. Students will develop a concept of health and wellness from the perspective of a health consumer as well as a potential professional in the health care industry. Prerequisite: None Semester: 1-2 Credit: 1/2 - 1 Health Science Technology I (9-12) A course designed skills in effective communications, ethical and legal responsibilities, client care, safety, first aid, and CPR. This course prepares the student for the transition to clinical or work-based experiences in health care. Prerequisite: Biology OR Concurrent enrollment Introduction to HST (Health Careers High School only) Credit: 1 Anatomy and Physiology of Human Systems (10-12) Students in Anatomy and Physiology of Human Systems
study a variety of topics that include: the responses of the
human body to internal and external forces; body processes that
maintain homeostasis; electrical conduction process and interactions;
body’s transport systems; and environmental factors that
affect the human body. Prerequisite: Biology I and Chemistry 1 Teacher Recommendation Semester: 2 Credit: 1 Health Science Technology II (11-12) A course designed to provide for the development of multi-occupational knowledge and skills related to a wide variety of health careers. Students will have hands-on experiences for continued knowledge and skill development. Clinical Rotation - All Schools. Pre-employment Lab at Health Careers High School only. PR: Biology, Chemistry, HST II (and completed Credit: 2 application for Clinical Rotation at Health Careers High School only) Health Science Technology III (12) Co-op - Marshall and Health Careers (Adv. Pre-Employment
Lab at Health Careers High School) Prerequisite: HST II (application for co-op at Health Careers High School only) Semester: 1-2 Credit: 1-2 Medical Microbiology/ Pathophysiology (11-12) In this course, students conduct laboratory investigations and fieldwork, use scientific methods during investigations, and make informed decisions using critical thinking and problem solving. Students will study the relationships of microorganisms to wellness and disease. They develop knowledge and skills related to disease prevention by learning the chain of infection, asepsis, and standard precautions. Pathogenic and nonpathogenic organisms will be identified to assist in the understanding of specific diseases, causative agents, and treatment options. Students also study disease processes and how humans are affected. Emphasis is placed on prevention and treatment of diseases. Students will differentiate between normal and abnormal physiology. The course must include at least 40% laboratory investigation and fieldwork using appropriate scientific inquiry. Not offered at all campuses. Prerequisite: Biology and Chemistry. Teacher recommendation. Semester: 2 Credit: 1 Pharmacology (11-12) Students will study classification of drugs. They will learn about drug actions, uses and adverse reactions. In addition they will study drugs in relation to treatment, care and restoration of health. (Health Careers) Prerequisite: HIST I, Biology Semester: 1 Credit: 1/2 Scientific Research and Design (12) Students conduct laboratory investigations and fieldwork, use scientific investigations, and make informed decisions using critical thinking and problem solving. The student actively formulates a problem related to health science, designs the research and procedures to be used, and plans a final product that will involve a formal presentation to representatives of the scientific community. Prerequisite: HST I, Teacher recommendation Semester: 2 Credit: 1
