    Health Science Education:  Health Science Education is an introductory course designed to prepare students to pursue careers in the fields of biotechnology research, 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.
    Diagnostic Medicine:  Diagnostic Medicine is a second level course designed to prepare students to pursue careers in the fields of radiology, medical laboratory, optometry, and other patient diagnostic procedures. Upon completion of this course, proficient students will be able to describe new and evolving diagnostic technologies, compare and contrast the feature of healthcare systems, explain the legal and ethical ramification of the healthcare setting, and begin to perform foundational healthcare skills. In addition, students will continue to add artifacts to a portfolio, which they will continue to build throughout the program of study. 
     
     
    Medical Therapeutics:  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.
     
    Rehab Careers:  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.
     
    Clinical Internship:  Clinical Internship is a capstone course and work-based learning experience designed to provide students with real-world application of skills and knowledge obtained in a pre-requisite Health Science course. Upon completion of this course, proficient students will be able to pursue certification in the pre-requisite course of Cardiovascular Services of Pharmacological Science once they have graduated and reached 18 years of age. Prior to beginning work at a clinical site, students must be certified in Basic Life Support (BLS) Cardiopulmonary Resusctation (CPR), and deemed competent in basic first aid, body mechanics, Standard Precaution guidelines, and confidentiality. This class is reserved for Juniors and Seniors only. 
     
    Course Pre-requisites (students must complete the following pre-requisites in the correct order):   1.) Health Science Ed.  2.) Anatomy and Physiology  3.)  Diagnostic Medicine, Medical Therapeutics, or Rehab Careers.  The student must also make a "C" or higher in each pre-requisite course, be on track to graduate, have no disciplinary action taken against them, and must maintain a 90% attendance rate to be admitted into the course.  Admission is at the instructor's discretion.
